Samuel Sharp

Samuel Sharp is a composer, saxophonist and producer based in London.

Samuel’s recent work involves contemporary story-telling through innovatively crafted soundscapes that blur the lines between classical, jazz, and electronic music. His shows are truly unique, as he attempts to capture fragments of memories and emotions, repainting these scenes live on stage with his saxophone and an assortment of harmoniser and delay pedals.

Samuel recently co-founded Counter Chamber, a new classical / electronic night featuring a wide range of contemporary performers, teaming up with composer and multi-instrumentalist Jay Chakravorty as curator. Their goal is to take post-classical music into a fresh club setting, reframing what chamber music means for current times with a broadly diverse curation of artists across genre boundaries.

Outside of his own releases, Samuel’s CV reflects an eclectic mix of work: as a touring musician he has performed with the likes of Hackney Colliery Band, Augustines, Hollie McNish, Introducing Live (DJ Shadow Project) and Stephen Crowe. As a session musician and producer his collaboration and remix portfolio includes artists as diverse as Phil Selway (Radiohead), Uno Helmersson (The Bridge), Angus MacRae, Soothsayers, Quest Ensemble, Roska, Laura Mvula, Bawrut, Nick Luscombe’s Musicity, Beverley Knight and Ben Taylor.
