Mini bio
How it started.
Sam grew up in the Cambridgeshire countryside and started singing at eight. Jazz lessons and musical theatre came before pop. At 18 they moved to London and worked in a bar, still trying to turn singing into a living.
The voice fans first heard.
Writing “Lay Me Down” with Jimmy Napes helped open the door: Disclosure heard the song, and “Latch” followed in 2012. Their 2014 debut In The Lonely Hour brought “Stay With Me” to a wider audience and earned four GRAMMYs at the 2015 ceremony.
Songs for the screen and dance floor.
Sam co-wrote and sang “Writing’s On The Wall” for Spectre, sharing the 2016 original song Oscar with Jimmy Napes. “Unholy,” their collaboration with Kim Petras, later won the 2023 GRAMMY for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
A new chapter.
Hazel Eyes arrived in August 2026 after Sam moved to New York and fell in love. Made with collaborators including Simon Aldred, David Odlum, Feist and The TwoCity Chorus, it explores romance through pop, folk, country and R&B. The To Be Free residencies brought the music into intimate venues.
