Samu3l’s journey began back in 2016. Fresh-faced, he started out playing gigs in local bars and clubs, showcasing his melodic sound and winning fans with the quality and flow of his sets. He transformed this grassroots entry into the industry with a series of events, offering a unique experience that spread rapidly through word of mouth. 

Undeterred by the pandemic, he channeled his creative energies into producing and built an impressive catalog of originals and remixes, each exhibiting the stamp of his distinctive sound. Since then, he has released several popular edits, contributed to Musique Concrete's Ukraine Fundraiser, and made his debut single on Trippy Code with "Enough".
