"We've all found some solace in TikTok amid theTurbulence of the past year, but onlyfew of of us have achieved the same level of Internet-induced success as the Essex-based Sam Ryder." - NME. SAM RYDER has long been no stranger to the vastness of the music landscape. After several years of experience fronting various rock and metal outfits, such as the hardcore combo CLOSE YOUR EYES, the Brit is now going solo and far more acoustic. Several million social media followers and praise of world greats like JUSTIN BIEBER or ELTON JOHN pay tribute to his tonal fireworks. Over a year ago, the singer started releasing various cover songs on his channels and clips of his videos have been featured on high profile formats such as The Ellen Show, BBC Newsbeat and many more. His debut EP The Sun's Gonna Rise not only reached millions of streams in no time, but also underlines the extraordinary abilities of the Brit - between his charismatic voice and feather-light, entraining melodies SAM RYDER fascinates on record and especially live on stage! He could also prove this in the context of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, when he won second place with his performance.
