FEATURING
Samuel Jack
Samuel’s nomadic childhood saw him bounce between London, Johannesburg, the Netherlands and Dorset. Starting late to the game but with an undeniable gift for music, he’s spent the last few years living in tour buses and performing on stages and radio networks across the UK, Europe and US including Glastonbury and The Secret Garden Party, supporting artists such as Passenger and Jack Savoretti, and featuring in US dramas such as Shameless and Nashville. After a whirlwind 2021 which saw Samuel’s song Feels Like Summer, smash into viral charts across the globe and hit the #1 spot in over 30 countries, Samuel has kicked off 2022 with a new EP – Made Up Of You. The new release features Samuel’s signature rugged and soulful vocals, his emotive lyricism and the music he was raised on; Blues, Motown, soul and roots music. Jack aims to produce music with honesty and authenticity, much to his critics' acclaim release after release.
