Sam began his solo career as a busker while travelling in Australia, where he was able to develop a distinctive folk inspired singer-songwriter style influenced by the likes of Matt Corby. Upon returning to the UK and relocating to Bristol, Sam began to focus on shaping his sound and amassed over 1 million Spotify Streams whilst became a regular in the festival circuit, with highlights including Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds. Inspired by the pace and diversity of the city, Sam’s music has now matured into a fusion of alternative indie whist still preserving that earnest and warming singer-songwriter edge.

ABOUT THE SONG

Best Friend is a song written about unrequited love for someone you consider a close friend and the strain that takes on two peoples friendship, ultimately ending in the breakdown of the relationship full stop. It's a common occurrence for most people at one point and although there are some very personal references within the lyrics, I believe it's a song that many people can relate too. It was recorded at J&J Studios in Bristol with TJ Allen, who has produced for the likes of Bat for Lashes.
