Support: Ronis Goliath
With a lot of practice, energy and focus, the 25-year-old songwriter fulfilled his wish and now regularly fills venues with thousands of fans and plays them his viral hits such as "To The Moon" and soulful tracks from his first project "who do you pray to?". The latter effortlessly made it into the top 10 of the UK charts in the week of its release.
The success is well deserved: his songs have the sound of someone who is at peace with himself and his art. They wrap up complex feelings and themes in impressive songwriting that goes deep and manages to pack experiences that everyone goes through but can't always put into words into three minutes of lyrics and sound. Mental health is just one of the topics that are important to the singer, and one that he dealt with himself, especially during lockdown.
During this time, Tompkins also came into contact with Justin Bieber - via an Instagram livestream - who is now a big supporter of the musician. The two recently performed together in Norway. But Bieber is not the only celebrity fan of Tompkins: stars such as Elton John, Sam Smith and Bebe Rexha are also following the former street musician's steadily rising career with interest. Sam Tompkins has now released his latest single "Lose It All", an emotional song about how losing a certain person would also mean losing everything.
