Forward To Zion

Forward To Zion - Sam Garrett feat. Paul Izak

Nahko Bear - Great Spirit (Medicine For The People)

This is a powerful song for me and one that I feel is relevant to share at this time.

When Covid hit I came across a video of how chocolate is produced and the people involved in that process. I was struck by the massive inequality and the amount of money the growers and harvesters of the cacao were paid compared to the business owners at the top of the chain. The price that the growers get paid is set by the government who have ties with the business owners at the top, and they set the price very low so that they can reap as much of the rewards as possible leaving little to nothing for the very foundation, the farmers.

After watching I was left feeling heavy in my heart and in isolation from the world, at a time when it all seemed very confusing. The song started to come through that day as a result of what I was feeling inside combined with what I had been learning at that time from the teachings of His Majesty Haile Selassie.

This song is not an easy song to sing, but I feel it is my responsibility to my listeners to sing from an authentic and true place. Fast forward to today I was struck again by what is happening to Women in Iran and by what I saw of the revolution happening there. It moved me to tears and a voice inside said that this song wants to be in the world to assist us in this movement towards freedom and liberation in these times.

This song is not about the production of chocolate or the women in Iran this is a call to all of us throughout the world to awaken to the deeper love and care that is within us, do not be disheartened by the challenges we face but rise in love, as His Majesty said “We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, and owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations, but to our fellow men and women within the human community”.

This is a very special song for me and one I wrote for my daughter whilst I was in England during lockdown and couldn’t get back to Portugal to see my daughter for her birthday. After feeling a range of emotions I surrendered and picked up my guitar and started to sing “I’m on my way”.

The song is an expression of hope in times of hardship. It was my way of remaining open to life in this challenging moment and staying positive knowing that I would get back to her in the perfect time.

This is my favourite song on the album because it feels like the most uplifting and celebratory song despite the situation it came from.

My guru said “the problem is never the situation but our attitude towards it.”

Ultimately we all face difficult situations in life but we can change them by realising that life isn’t against us but for us and we can grow in humility, compassion and love through it all.

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did making it and singing it. One love ♥️

"Too Blessed To Be Stressed" - Roaman, Sam Garrett, Ny Oh

Smash Hits

Your House

our darkness is important, to be treated with respect
for us to be reborn, then we must also honor death
only illusion keeps us seperate, moon in east and sun in west
soon we'll leave these bodies, releasing all that we thought we possessed

letting go, letting go
a return to what the soul already knows

through the softened edge of sorrow, though the patches, frays, and pulls
with life seeping through the cracks of every fracture, every hole
through what loves and leaves us, though we grieve it, mystery calls us close
finding solace in these bodies, how our heartbeat guides us home

letting go, letting go
learning to embrace the ebb and flow

oh, great spirit
formless dancer
teach us to trust
love beyond fear
oh, i hear your call

through dark and light, our shadows can remind us we're alive
yet our mind's eye takes to worry when the sunset's done each night
and just as fire tears through treetops, burning each down to the bone
after that tragedy, our sacred earth still remembers how to grow

letting go, letting go
strip the layers so the spirit shows

Sam Garrett is an English Singer-songwriter whose music highlights his spiritual journey exploring Eastern Philosophy, Meditation, Yoga and Rastafari Wisdom. Lyrically soulful and devotionally talented, Sam’s music uplifts enlivens and inspires the hearts and souls of people all over the world.


With a skillful combination of vocals and guitar, he lifts the mood with reggae riffs such as ‘Lost In the Moment’ and soothes our busy minds with the soft tones of ‘Higher Than the Mountains,’ offering a unique journey and depth that is rare to experience.

During the pandemic Sam connected to Rastafari wisdom and livity, a connection that has always had a deep place in Sam’s heart. Whilst in lockdown Sam started to feel a pull towards the teachings and example of Haile Selassie and the spirit of Rastafari, which gave solace and comfort during these difficult times. 

Songs started to come through and an album was taking shape inspired by a call for deeper introspection and unity in a time of separation and division.

Sam was inspired by the album ‘Back to the Roots’ by Paul Izak and so after reconnecting online, Sam made his way to Oahu to record the forthcoming ‘Forward to Zion’ album which is set for release in 2023. Sam is looking forward to setting out on the road to share his heart songs, love and wisdom with the world.

Growing up in a musical family, Sam’s father would play a diverse range of records from artists such as Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, and Stevie Wonder. In Sam’s most formative years, his father took him to all different kinds of concerts on a regular basis. Sam was deeply inspired by his eclectic exposure to music and curious about the creative path of artistry. By the age of 12, Sam had formed his first band and  went on to play in the UK scene for some years before going solo. 

Sam would spend a lot of time writing songs immersed in the rich nature surrounding his family’s home. From this chapter of his life, he released his first EP ‘Be Easy’ in 2014.

Sam would eventually come to meet his spiritual teacher, Mooji Baba, in Portugal. Meeting and deeply connecting with Mooji was an incredibly impactful part of Sam’s path. While living and studying at Mooji’s ashram ‘Monte Sahaja’, Sam would often partake in the contemplative practice of Satsang as one of the attending musicians.

The 2019 single “Light of Your Grace” and 2021 album “Root Down Deep” co-created with fellow spiritual sojourner Mollie Monedoza was born from this chapter, and after experiencing the effervescence of life in Portugal, Sam decided to move there. Now, he spends his free time in between tour dates etc. sipping in the sweet nectar of gratitude, living a life of simplicity and stillness near ‘Monte Sahaja’.

Mooji’s teachings continue to have a profound effect on Sam’s life, which can be found woven throughout the message and essence of his music. Sam’s music is a reflection of his life’s journey thus far, and as his life continues to unfold, his eclectic library of inspirited sounds continue to expand.
