9. He was Successful Despite a Tough Childhood
Some artists come from talented parents and some are taught from a young age to excel musically. Not Santana. He was born in Mexico, raised in Tijuana, and grew up playing in local strip clubs. Santana is a self-made artist and a prodigious musical talent who succeeded solely because of his true talent and amazing determination.
10. He’s Multi-Talented
Santana is more than a musical genius, he’s also a business mogul who dabbled in the restaurant and fashion worlds. He has a restaurant called Maria Maria (yes, the same name as his hit song) and a successful shoe line.
