About
Albert 'TJ' Santiago is a Bronx, New York native with a musical theater background and a passion for performing arts. TJ started performing when he was nine years old: singing, acting, and dancing in school plays and community theater productions. Shortly after his freshman year of high school began, he landed his first National Broadway tour. After touring he found the magical world of circus and quickly fell in love.
Upon graduating from Professional Performing Arts High School, he was accepted into the Intensive Professional Program at Suzi Winston’s Circus Warehouse: where he studied contortion, hand balancing, aerial hoop, tissu, ballet, and dance. He was chosen to study Mongolian contortion under coach Khazu Chan; who trained him vigorously before bringing him to study at X-Rose Contortion Center in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. TJ went on to perform with the industry’s top talent agencies; working at some of the most prestigious venues for corporate events, domestic and international.
