Sam Fender
Born April 25th 1994, Sam Fender is a singer-songwriter from North Shields near Newcastle, England.
In March 2017, Fender self-released his debut single, “Play God”. Despite the track originally being recorded in his garden shed, it was later mixed by Arctic Monkeys alumnus Barny Barnicott, lending his gritty vocals a more polished and radio-friendly sheen.
On the 6th June 2018, just three months after his debut single was released, Sam Fender signed a record deal with Polydor Records. Fender caught the attention of his now manager Owain Davies after he played an acoustic set in the pub that he previously worked in, as anecdotally told after his BRIT Award nomination and also to GHETTOBLASTER magazine below
