On the Radar: Sam Heselwood

The New Zealand Dean Lewis or even Ed Sheeran… That is how I would describe the talent that flows from Canterbury local Sam Heselwood who is getting his career on the fast track recently with his throwback releases and meaningful lyrics that will grasp you in from the first time you hear them.
Sam describes his body of work as being relatable life experiences that can be shared with listeners from all over and he is certainly hitting that mark, especially with his moving new release Outside Kinda Kids which strips back the childhood moments that kids are living now and allows those younger ones to experience what us bigger kids got to when we were their ages.
Sam has worked with SOLE Music Academy, whom have helped support him along the way of his musical ambitions and the team there are exceptionally proud of what he has come to achieve so far, evident by how hyped they were to encourage Sam at his gig with Jaz Paterson earlier this year.
Sam has this incredibly calming presence about him, allowing emotions to be shown throughout his entire time on stage, which I think is exceptionally important, especially for males to show that they also feel things and freely express these to an audience. This has made me personally respect Sam even more, being able to show this vulnerability within his music and words.
Get on your merry way and make sure that you chuck a spin on Sam’s music and let him know what your thoughts are at the below links:
