Santi Debriano started playing jazz instruments as a teenager. He studied composition at Union College in New York, then attended the New England Conservatory of Music and Wesleyan University. He has great knowledge in the field of jazz and respects different cultures and traditions. He presented his compositions as a soloist and with his band at the world's most famous festivals and concert halls.

Santi realized albums and concerts with different jazz masters such as: Oliver Lake, Archie Shepp, David Murray, Elvin Jones, Kenny Clarke, Sam Rivers, Cecil Taylor, Kirk Lightsey, Randy Weston, Roy Hanes, Pharaoh Sanders, Mal Waldron and many others.[4]
He has written two bestselling jazz instruction books which are for sale on amazon.com. The names of those books are: “The Bass Players Toolbox 1 and 2”[5][6] and “The Jazz Bass Studies”. Santi's latest release is titled "Ashanti" and is out on JoJo Records.[7][8][1]
Debriano has led several of his own units, including small groups in the late 1980s and Circlechant, a world music-influenced ensemble which has had among its members Helio Alves, Will Calhoun, and Abraham Burton.
