At 23, the Scotsman has already made a name for himself in music, notably with his track 'Powder' released in 2014. A young beatmaking prodigy, he signed with XL Records at 17, releasing a remarkable trilogy of EPs, Escapism I, II, III. A true jack of all trades, he was quickly compared to peers like Kaytranada, Flume, and Flying Lotus. He quickly lent his talent to numerous artists, producing and collaborating with Flume, Kenny Beats, Goldlink, Santigold, Masego, and Don Toliver. 2021 marks an anticipated return and a change in direction, with Sam moving towards a more pop sound while maintaining the sonic identity that made his reputation.
