Sam Fender

Sam Fender is an English singer-songwriter and musician hailing from North Shields near Newcastle. Born on April 25, 1994, he emerged in the music scene with a sound deeply rooted in indie rock, flavored with a touch of the classic British songwriter tradition. Fender first gained national attention after being named one of the BBC's Sound of 2018. His breakthrough came with his debut single, "Play God," but it was the release of his anthemic track "Hypersonic Missiles" in 2019 that cemented his status as one of the UK’s most promising talents.

The singer’s confessional lyricism and rousing melodies became even more prominent on his critically acclaimed debut album, also titled "Hypersonic Missiles," which topped the UK Albums Chart. Following up on this initial success, Sam Fender released his sophomore album, "Seventeen Going Under," in 2021. The record showcases a more introspective look at his upbringing and the trials of working-class youth, with the title track becoming a significant hit. The album, along with its deluxe edition and various live and acoustic renditions of its songs, demonstrates Fender’s dynamic range from arena-ready rock to stripped-back, emotive ballads. With a reputation for his impassioned live performances and a keen insight into socio-political issues that resonate with a vast audience, Sam Fender has established himself as a vital voice in contemporary British music.
