Samm Henshaw

Putting a fresh spin on soul, Samm Henshaw isn’t afraid to feel out loud. His music reflects a palpable ebb and flow of emotions. He might lean back into a moment of reflection with a soft croon, only to let out all of his pain through a booming chorus. His vocals can drip at a slow pour or surge with emotion, electricity, and energy over a homegrown sonic distillation of soul, alternative, indie, R&B and funk. The London-born Nigerian singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist has
quietly emerged as a phenomenon with hundreds of millions of streams, critical acclaim, and sold-out shows worldwide. Raised in South London, he first introduced himself in 2015 with “Only Wanna Be With You.”

He has notably collaborated with everyone from Pharrell Williams, John Legend, and the late Quincy Jones to EARTHGANG, Tobe Nwigwe, Jacob Banks, and Kota the Friend, among others. As always, he holds nothing back on his second full-length offering, It Could Be Worse. The record is the sound of coming out of heartbreak even stronger, and it’s the sound of a lifelong creative coming into his own as a vital voice.
