Rae Sam

About

Born and raised in the land of song, Rae Sam's heritage and family predestined her flare for music. Rugby games, choirs, a home to the greats like Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey - her culture was rooted in song. After learning three chords on the guitar, she wrote a song and performed it in nearby churches at the age of nine. As she grew older, she became deeply connected to the rawness of Country music and its unique power to ‘hit the soul,’ accept brokenness and heal at the same time. A remedy that she had used in her own life during the toughest of times. Rae Sam’s music has taken her all over the UK and all over the world; from Israel, to Croatia and the USA. After playing with musicians who had toured with the likes of Dolly Parton, Van Morrison and Phil Collins; Rae Sam was inspired to improve her storytelling skills and create emotionally impacting music. Whilst in Nashville, she had the privilege of recording her first EP with Chester Thompson (from Genesis).  …So, as she sat down with producers in the music filled studio to talk about her first album ‘The Great Escape’, there were clear distinct sounds that she wanted. Country to touch the soul, Celtic for that wildness of her heritage and finally pop, with a touch of funk, to make you want to dance! The combination was simple - it had to be everything that Rae Sam loves.
