Born in Sant'Agata di Puglia, Foggia, Santagata debuted as a comedian at the Derby club in Milan, with the show Toni Santagata e il suo cabaret, later also released as an album.[1] In the following years he embraced folk music, both recording some classics of the Apulian tradition and composing songs.[1] In 1973 Santagata won the folk section of Canzonissima with "Lu maritiello"; the song was also his major hit, peaking at the sixth place on the Italian hit parade.[1][2]

Santagata died on 5 December 2021, at the age of 85.[3]
