Edit history

Over the past 2 years songwriting has taken a back seat whilst Sam has been playing drums professionally as a session drummer. Playing with artists such as, Ricki Lee (Aus Idol), Tim McArtney, Phonic, Brown’s Lane, benjalu, and currently James Johnston (Aus idol 09). He spent 8 months touring with Newcastle band ‘benjalu’ on the back of their 2nd EP release. Whilst on tour benjalu supported acts such as Jon Stevens, Ross Wilson, The Basics, Marshall & The Fro, Chasing Bailey, The Living End, Children Collide and more. Since returning from tour Sam has had many musical influences and it has made his creative mind kick into gear. At the end of January Sam had already written 8 tracks and by the end of July had 22 tracks in which to cull down for his debut EP. One of the tracks written was entered into the National Youth Week “Rock It” songwriting competition in which he gained 3rd place out of thousands of entrants. Since early July Sam has begun recording his debut EP ‘Choices’. The
