Sam Turpin

Sam Turpin is an artist from Johannesburg, South Africa. After his mother passed away in 2011, he began to use rap and music while still in school as a way to express emotion.

Sam was featured on The Charles Géne Suite's debut album "Suite Nites", appearing on two tracks and one music video for "Whiskey Music". In November 2022, Sam travelled to Cape Town to perform at two shows, Selective Live and The Lightning Bolt Festival. In January 2023, the Suite Nites album featuring Sam was released in Japan as an exclusive, deluxe physical edition through Paraphernalia Records and Disk Union. In September 2023, Sam released his latest project, the three track EP "Syncope" along with his self-directed visuals for the single "Moon Light" featuring fellow South African artist Laliboi.
