Samuel is a neurdivergent indie rock frontman, musician, and composer from Edinburgh, Scotland. Set alight by Motown records in the car with his mother, corrupted by hard rock records handed down by his father and formed by his own journeys into Jazz, Folk & Experimental Music of decades past, he is a cathartic songwriter, an impassioned singer and a gifted guitarist. 

He is a regular on the London music scene and has enjoyed tours around the UK and Europe both under his own projects and others including Jemma Freeman & The Cosmic Something, Frankie Morrow and Jeremy Tuplin. So far, Sam’s musical contributions in these projects have been heard on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio Scotland, Amazing Radio, Radio X, KCRW & BBC 6 Music.

His new album, Birthday Suit comes after years of searching and longing. It is a dysfunctional self-portrait and a love letter in equal parts, dancing from electrifying guitar solos to naked vulnerability as it tries to bring the love of his life into the world of someone who has recently been diagnosed with autism. 

“The subtleties in [Susan] are simply stellar, accompany that with a well-paced flow and an exceptionally pleasing layered kaleidoscope of guitars and you have a lovely recipe for success.” – Jonah Holiday, IMR  

 “With love from KCRW already in the bag it won't be long until more people fall in love with Samuel Nicholson's works of art.” – It’s All Indie

“We are in love with Samuel Nicholson’s vocal tone and nuances. This is the kind of voice that makes a song stand out both as a story and in power.“ – Where The Music Meets
