Sampha Biography

Early in his adolescence, Sampha Sisay began composing music. He tried to get MCs to rap over his rhythms but was rejected. His first release was Sundanza, a CD-R EP through Young Turks. Most songs on SBTRKT's 2011 self-titled album included Sisay in some way. His 2012 wasn't nearly as dramatic, but in 2013 came Dual, the second Sampha EP published on the label Young Turks, and a featured appearance on Drake's Too Much (from Nothing Was the Same). The latter album, which was abstract and minimalist, served as a brief showcase for Sisay's expressive yet fragile-sounding voice. Sisay continues to be sought after by well-known musicians even as he worked with relatively obscure acts like SBTRKT and Bullion. He contributed to albums by Kanye West, Frank Ocean, and Solange alone in 2016, and he also made progress on his first album with the tracks Timmy's Prayer and Blood on Me. Early in 2017, he published his first studio album.
