Raised on the land but located on the Reef; armed with a cuppa and pen, born quiet and sweet - from day dot, Sammy White has been the perfect walking contradiction. 

Once astonishingly shy, Sammy found her feet on stage and like a page from an old hand-written journal, she lays it on the line with her honest all-in approach to songwriting. The authentic cry in her vocal tones and relatable tales of trials and tribulations leave audiences hanging on every raw, emotion-exuding word.

Sammy’s debut single, Drowning My Sorrows was the first cut from the anticipated EP due 2020. Co-written with Lachlan Bryan, the song is about how everyone copes with the things life throws up. Being quite emotionally introverted, Sammy has always turned to writing out her feelings. The EP is a diary - a compilation of first-hand experiences set to melodies. The songs are raw, authentic and written with an all-in approach to storytelling. 

Growing up with her family listening to straight, traditional country music - Johnny Cash, Charley Pride and Willie Nelson on rotation. While Sammy had an appreciation for it, it never had her hooked in the way alt country did. Kasey Chambers’ album The Captain was the first album she owned. 9 years old and fresh into the country scene, a gift from her mother to help find songs for local competitions. Sammy says, “I loved it so much that I begged for Rattlin Bones album by Kasey and Shane Nicholson. The proceeding album tour was my very first concert and I sat the whole time in awe. Now considering elements and sounds that I like for my own recording, I can see how much those two records have influenced my music.” Future music discoveries of Amy Winehouse, Ashley Monroe, Chris Stapleton have further helped shape Sammy’s writing and sound.

One gets the impression Sammy White gets the same feeling she got performing and writing her thoughts down as a shy young girl, but whilst she chases her dreams as a young adult her sureness flourishes as she lives and breathes and bases her whole existence to become successful at it.
