Born in New Jersey, USA and raised in the Dominican Republic to a cuban father and a dominican mother, Santacruz is a three time Latin Grammy Award nominee.

While still very young he moved to Santo Domingo with his parents, and immediately felt attracted to the dominican music, mostly merengue.
His musical influences range from Johnny Ventura, Wilfrido Vargas, Fernando Villalona, Sergio Vargas and Juan Luis Guerra to Luis Miguel, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Julio Iglesias and Sting. Although Santacruz has cited that his biggest musical influence was his mother, who from an early age used to sing boleros to him and also used to make imaginary interviews to a young Daniel with a small tape recorder. His father, also a music lover, introduced him to classical music and to the 50's and 60's sound. The first musical notes are known from his maternal grandmother Ana Zulema Victoria who was a pianist and also a piano teacher.

Asi nos hubieran visto,
estabamos ahi sentados
frente a frente.
No podia faltarnos la luna,
y hablabamos de todo un poco,
y todo nos causaba risa
como dos tontos.
Y yo que no veia la hora

de tenerte en mis brazos
y poderte decir...
Te amo
desde el primer momento en que te vi
y hace tiempo te buscaba
y ya te imaginaba asi.
te amo
aunque no es tan facil de decir,
y defino lo que siento
con estas palabras
te amo
uuuuuuuuuuh
Y de pronto nos rodeo el silencio,
y nos miramos fijamente
uno al otro.
Tus manos entre las mias
talvez nos volveremos a ver
mañana no se si podre
que estas jugando
Me muero si no te vuelvo a ver
y tenerte en mis brazos
y poderte decir...
Te amo
desde el primer momento en que te vi
y hace tiempo te buscaba
y ya te imaginaba asi.
te amo
aunque no es tan facil de decir,
y defino lo que siento
con estas palabras
Te amoohhhhh

Coro
te amo

Ay, si nos hubieran visto
Estábamos allí sentados
Frente a frente
No podía faltarnos la luna
Y hablábamos de todo un poco
Y todo nos causaba risa
Como dos tontos
Y yo que no veía la hora
De tenerte en mis brazos
Y poderte decir
"Te amo
Desde el primer momento en que te vi
Y hace tiempo te buscaba y ya te imaginaba así"
Te amo
Aunque no es tan fácil de decir
Y, defino lo que siento con estas palabras
Te amo, uh-uh
Y de pronto nos rodeó el silencio
Y nos miramos fijamente
Uno al otro
Tus manos entre las mías
Tal vez, nos volveremos a ver
Mañana no sé si podré
Qué estás jugando
Me muero si no te vuelvo a ver
Y tenerte en mis brazos
Y poderte decir
"Te amo
Desde el primer momento en que te vi
Y hace tiempo te buscaba y ya te imaginaba así"
Te amo
Aunque no es tan fácil de decir
Y, defino lo que siento con estas palabras
Te amo
Te amo
Desde el primer momento en que te vi
Y hace tiempo te buscaba y ya te imaginaba así
Te amo
Aunque no es tan fácil de decir
Y, defino lo que siento con estas palabras
Te amo
