what’s up

"Somos como la planta que crecen sin agua."

Welcome! You’ve reached the part of the internet that holds the archives of my artistry.

I’m Satya. I use all pronouns, and I love when you call me mr. chávez.

I’m one of those multi-hyphenate artists (a.k.a. your average undiagnosed ADHD millennial, just chasing the dopamine from medium to medium).

I started as an actor with a passion for making music and speaking truth to power. But over time, I picked up a few more hats. Here are some of them:

🎵 Composer & Sound Designer
✍🏽 Musical Theater Writer
🎶 Songwriter of little songs about big feelings
🎭 Director & Music Director
🎻 Multi-Instrumentalist
📚 Educator & Mentor
🔄 Live Looper (maybe my favorite of them all!)

I’m based in Chicago, but my work has been produced all over the country.

Inspired by my ancestors, my Duranguense father, and the people of this earth who have survived and thrived despite being "plants expected to grow without water," I’m here to make music—however, wherever, and whenever I can.

I create with radical acceptance of all my identities, honoring those who came before me—those who were once denied the freedom to fully express the breadth of theirs.
So stay a while. Scroll through the archives, press play, and catch a vibe. ✌🏽
