ENGLISH
Sam Smith, in full Samuel Frederick Smith (born May 19, 1992, London, England), British soul singer who was remarked for his mellifluous voice and for the subject matter of his lyrics, some of which subverted the notions of romantic love that defined popular soul music.
Smith was raised in Cambridgeshire. His father was a truck driver and greengrocer and his mother a banker. He began singing at a young age, encouraged by his parents after he impressed them with his rendition of Whitney Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love.” Smith pursued vocal training and soon appeared in local theatre productions and with Youth Music Theatre UK. He went through six managers before ultimately moving to London at age 18 to pursue opportunities there.
Today, he is one of the most known artists thanks to songs like “Stay with me” or “Writings on the wall”.
