Edit history

Damen Samuel is a singer/songwriter and his music style can best be described as a unique blend of Soul, Folk, Rock and Jazz. He often draws comparisons to such artists as Cat Stevens, Terry Callier and Ben Harper. Damen has taken full advantage of living in a world with fewer borders than the one he was born into - he was raised in former East Germany, at the height of the Cold War by his German mother. His father was a student from Nigeria. Damen moved to NYC in the early 2000's to pursue his creative vision of becoming a performing songwriter, and he quickly became part of the local music scene of Brooklyn and the Lower Eastside. In 2006, Damen relocated to Melbourne and he recorded his first full-length album A Gypsy’s Lullaby. His most recent record Odyssey was recorded in NYC with producer Kieran Kelly (Angus & Julia Stone – “Down the way”). Damen is currently completing work on his forthcoming album ‘Goodbye Tomorrow’, which will be released later this year.
