Sampha

Overview

Sampha started out writing killer tunes for some of the biggest names in hip hop, from Drake and Solange to Kanye and Frank Ocean — and a whole heap more in between. His solo debut came out earlier this year, and is already being touted as the album to beat in this year's UK Mercury Prize. It's not an easy sound to categorise, and maybe that's what makes Sampha's smooth vocals laid over eclectic synths, pads, and drums so darn appealing.

The London native is making the trek over for two intimate nights at the Opera House as part of Vivid Sydney 2017. These tickets are bound to be some of the most sought-after at the festival this year.
