Sam Ryder (Part One)
Manage episode 514809255 series 1413022
This week Emily and Ray take a stroll with the brilliant Sam Ryder, whose soaring voice and infectious positivity have made him one of the most loved artists in the country.
Emily caught up with Sam at his Sussex rehearsal space, where he and his band were preparing for their upcoming Wembley Arena show. They talked about his incredible journey, from years spent gigging in pubs and weddings while working as a builder, to his breakout during the pandemic and his unforgettable performance at the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest.
Sam also opens up about life after Eurovision, and his decision to go independent with his stunning new album Heartland, an intimate, deeply personal collection of songs that chart the highs and lows of the past year.
It’s an inspiring and joy-filled chat with one of the warmest, most genuine people you could hope to meet (and yes, Ray fell completely in love with him).
Head to Sam's website for tickets and to listen to Heartland.
