About Sam

Born in the U.K, Sam grew up in the Caribbean & Jersey. As a result, his songwriting influences span everything from Cuban Mambo & Flamenco to Pop. Early support slots included Sir Tom Jones & his first festival spot was at Bestival. Travelling to Australia Sam studied flamenco guitar & was subsequently accepted to study at the Royal Northern College of Music. Unfortunately he had to return home to Jersey after contracting a life-threatening illness. During his long, two year recovery he started uploading bedroom demos & short films to Instagram. His original blend of indie folk & alt pop tinged with other influences helped him gain support slots for Gabrielle Aplin & shows with Newton Faulkner. Sam has since performed live for BBC Introducing & Sofar Sounds, sold out headline shows at the Troubadour and The Bedford and even performed at the O2 arena amongst others.
