Sam Fender is an English singer, songwriter, and musician! He is known for his high tenor voice and strong Geordie accent, layered over music characterised by a roots orientated rock approach.


Sam's sound relies primarily on his traditional American musical upbringing, combined with a classic British rock sensibility. He has been acclaimed by critics and musicians for his songwriting proficiency.


At 18, Fender was spotted performing in Low Lights Tavern, the pub where he worked, by Ben Howard's manager Owain Davies, who took him on as a client!


Throughout 2013, he played a series of gigs across the country supporting a number of artists including Howard and Willy Mason. At the age of 20, Fender was diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening illness, shortly after which his father moved to France. He then took two years out for health reasons.


He revealed years later that he has a "compromised immune system". Sam has said that prior to this time he tried to write songs that he thought would be popular as he was "desperate to do well" to get himself and his mother out of their financial and living situation. However, Fender said that having a major health scare and facing the possibility of death changed his outlook on life.


His recovery refocused his songwriting efforts, and he began writing songs for himself. Sam has ADHD which he says helps him to focus on his music. It was out of this period that Fender wrote a number of the songs he went on to release.
