Samm Henshaw live at Scala

It might still be early days, but Samm Henshaw’s resumé is already chock-full of accomplishments. In the past few years, he’s signed to Columbia Records, racked up millions of Spotify streams with his two Sound Experiment EPs, and toured with James Bay and Chance the Rapper – both of whom, upon hearing Henshaw’s rich, soulful pop, hand-picked him to support them on the road.

Touring with Chance the Rapper in 2016 inspired Henshaw too. “I went to LA after the tour and hung out with him, and that was wicked. Watching him work is amazing; they basically rented out a house and there were maybe 50 people, and everyone was making music. I was super inspired.”

But it is Henshaw’s South London roots that have most shaped his identity – artistic and otherwise. Not that he was always particularly proud of being from South London. “Because it’s got such a bad rep, and there’s a lot of negativity and so on, I used to want to disassociate myself with that. But then you realise how South you are when you’re around people who aren’t from that area, and that background. I wouldn’t have learned any of that if I hadn’t taken a step outside of where I’m from. When I did that, I realised this is actually who I am. Now, it plays a much bigger part. It’s great to be able to do this, and to say to people, ‘Listen, you don’t have to be limited to your circumstance, you can do what you want if you put your mind to it.”

Ultimately, Henshaw hopes his music starts a conversation amongst the people who hear it – and maybe inspires them too. “I hope my music can encourage people,” he says simply. “I hope it can help change some lives.”
