About Sam MacPherson:

Sam MacPherson infuses each lyric and melody with tangible detail. Through a nuanced approach and unclouded lens, the New Jersey-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist will delve into the quietest moments of a tense goodbye or pan across the trepidation of a torrid, yet doomed relationship in his songs. At college, he taught himself how to play guitar, produce, write songs, and record on his own, approaching music with the same grit and determination he brought to athletics as a division 1 soccer player. Leaving the East Coast, he settled in L.A. in 2020 as an independent artist. Following early uploads such as “No Bad Memories,” he gained traction with the alluring, heartbreaking single “Routine” in 2021. Beyond landing on coveted playlists, it generated 6M+ streams and garnered praise among music blogs. He also served up the Songs for Sam EP highlighted by “Last Minute,” which lit up TikTok and surpassed 10M streams. He carried this momentum into 2022 with singles like “Crash Course” and “Rookie.” Simultaneously, he emerged as a sought-after collaborator behind-the-scenes for Stephen Sanchez, Jonah Kagen, Garrett Nash, and more. He notably co-wrote “Heartbreak Hall of Fame” for Quinn Lewis and “You” for VINCINT. Moreover, he shared stages with Chelsea Cutler and labelmate Jake Scott. Making his major label debut with Elektra Records – in a joint venture with Group Projects – MacPherson’s vision only crystallizes on his debut EP, Powerlines illuminated by singles such as “Safe To Say” and the title track.
