"Do it!! that would be good, hopefully i'll get a lot of people applying. You will be shocked to discover that since I put the message up I've already had 32 entries! And it is amazing how people can put their own slant on a song! I love it!"

"Oh My God, I've not updated in such a long time! Must be about two months now!! I've been doing a lot of gigging and writing tracks for an album that just doesn't seem to be coming together at all. I can finally say that there will be details coming soon for my first EP, i know that this website has been up for 4 Months now or whatever and i've been telling you that the details on my first 2 EPs would be up soon, well one of them is finally working. It's because they were never on iTunes or something... I dont know...

But yeah, i am also gonna be touring with my good friend Aaron Marks on his headline TrendingTopics tour, with Kayla Rivers. I can't actually say i've heard of her if i'm honest... Whoops :S should probably do my homework on her before i meet her on the tour on the 5th!! So yeah, the tour dates are all between November 5th and November 27th.

Watch out then today for the actual info on the Bad Blood EP, which is also now available on iTunes if anybody wants to get it. It's over a year old now, but i suppose not many people have it, but go for it :)

"Well i wasn't expecting both of them to be up so soon, but yeah, now my full back catalogue is available on iTunes. Who knows what'll happen next! Haha, i think that at the moment working on an album is not what i need to be doing; i have 21 gigs coming up with Aaron and Kayla, and I think i'll be trialing some new material there. So if you haven't already got tickets go and get some!!!

I will probably try and put another EP out by the end of January; i'm also interested in doing a collaborations project at some point... Maybe 4 or 5 songs with one artist, or maybe a variety of artists, i'm not sure!! I don't know, i have plenty of time! I don't have any more releases coming up, and i would also like to congratulate Jenny Vickers for winning my competition! I will be coming to do an intimate gig at your house on Saturday 19th of November!!! Get Excited!!!

Sammy’s fingers caress the strings again and he plays a simple guitar riff. As the riff increases in pace and complexity Sammy starts to nod his head and roll it around on his neck. He is completely relaxed and is playing it perfectly still. A mystical vibe starts to come from this riff which fits in with the name of the song already, the mystical vibe linking with the idea of a disguise. The riff gets about half way through and then Sammy starts to sing.


“I’m falling to pieces,
Realising you weren’t real,
It was a shock to me,
When I discovered that you didn’t love me.”


Sammy looks directly into the camera and smiles. When he smiles his eyes light up, this emphasises how much he really does love performing and music just generally. Now the rhythm on the guitar changes slightly and moves onto something much more jumpy. The transition is very sudden, yet works very well.


“ I just wanna feel your heart beating,
And forget that you were cheating,
I just hate the fact that you and me,
Well I thought that we were meant to be…

When I feel your lips touch mine,
Everything is fine,
The passion in your eyes,
Is your real disguise.
Your real disguise.”


The first verse finishes and Sammy steps up his vocal performance now. He shows his vocal range by powerfully blasting out a chorus which helps him to connect with the audience, allowing him to be inclusive of all of the people that have ever felt this way. His strumming his increased in pace and then he makes one last strum half way through the last line allowing it to fade as he finishes it.
Now the song leads into the second verse. It speeds up again and continues with the jumpy rhythm that was introduced in the first verse.


“You are the glint in my eye,
The soul of the party,
Without you my heart dies,
And it won’t restart yeah,
I just feel so empty,
Now that you’re gone,
But I don’t want this
Anymore, because it’s wrong.”


The verse ends without much spectacular happening, but it then leads into yet another powerfully sung chorus. This helps to really capture the spirit of the song and as Sammy inhales at the end, it is clear to the viewers that Sammy is really into this song and getting really involved. He quickly plucks at the guitar a few times and then heads straight into the rapped verse of the song.


Your disguise is one I’ll never be fooled by again,
I know what I’m looking for now, shame it’s now and not then,
I’ll keep on spitting my bars over my music forever,
Even though you and I will never be together
Ever again, because the lies you told are too big,
So I’ll forgive but never forget all of your bullshit.
I have a heart, and it was broken,
But my voice is hear, although it may be croaking,
You hurt my bad, and I’ll never forget
But for the time being, it’s not over yet

"AAAHH!!! Number 2 on the digital downloads charts?! That is absolutely amazing!! I am so happy! Thank you to all 286,000 people who downloaded that song THIS WEEK!!! That is crazy! Oh my god!!

So yeah, that's epic. But yeah, if anybody want me as a support act for their tours, i'm more than willing to oblige. It could start next week for all i care, i'll be there! Tonight is my last gig with Aaron and Kayla, and the tour has been epic. So thank you Aaron for having such a sound tour, and thank you fans for being amazing!!

"So it's been good to be home this last week, and I have gone back to my parents house in Halifax this week. Spent a few days with them and my sisters. I've missed so much! My oldest sister Lily is pregnant! Congrats!

But back to me, as much as I love being home, I want to get back out on the road! If anybody needs a support act for a tour they have coming up, I would love to get involved! Just contact me!

I also would love to say thank you to everyone who is still buying my latest single, and I can't wait to find out where it has charted this week.

"Well hello everybody; just a couple of things to let you all know about today. I thought we were having a breakthrough the other day and were finally gonna get one of those videos up of me performing on the opening night of one of my EPs - but then it didn't work... So I'll keep you all in suspense for a tiny bit longer...

Next thing, I did a cheeky little gig at the Dirty Bastard the other day as a last minute warm up session for the What You Were Waiting For Tour In support of Cinzia Ricci's album. She is absolutely incredible to watch tour; I can't believe she asked me to tour with her! So I'm gonna be very busy touring with her for a while!

I've also been writing for an album/EP, so hopefully I should get done stuff recorded soon, but don't expect any major releases in a while. And that's it I think... Love y'all :D
