About Sam Ryder

In 2020, as the world went into lockdown, Sam Ryder uploaded the first of his now infamous covers that quickly caught the attention of some famous fans (think Elton John) with compilations appearing on The Ellen Show & BBC's Newsbeat. As the content kept coming, so did the fans, amassing 10 million on socials by the end of the year. Fast forward to 2021 and Sam was crowned as TikTok's most popular UK artist account for the second year in a row.

In 2021, Sam released his 5-song EP 'The Sun's Gonna Rise' including track 'Whirlwind' that describes Sam’s journey - spending much of his adult life writing and performing in bands, living in Hawaii and owning a vegan coffee shop; before he decided to pursue his dream of becoming a solo artist.

Sam's first show in London sold out in under 10 minutes, nearly as quickly as his first full UK tour. Ready to make his first live foray into Europe and beyond, world domination in 2022 might not be a stretch too far for this incredible talent.

Freddie in heaven - “That’ll do my friend, that’ll do”

Sam Ryder should be the number 1 artist we are hearing instead of all of empty nonsense we are hearing. His emotion in it alone is completely mind blowing, and WOW, his voice is exquisite.

[mariarichard]

His voice sounds just like Freddie Mercury!! And he was the king of all singers. Amazing, incredible your voice Sam.

[RobertMarsh]

His voice is like nothing I've heard before. So much power and control. This man could sing anything.

[Mo-xxgg]

Saw this guy on Eurovision, yet still didn't realise how incredible his vocals are. Possibly best I have heard!

[CarmenMorris-my]

Sam Ryder will go places in 2024, his voice is so awesome !! Nothing but many prayers & a Happy Holidays 🐞🤶🏾🧑🏼‍🎄🎄☦️☮️♍️☯️

Just seen a young male skater performing to this. A fabulous song. Heartbreaking. I also think he sounds Freddie Mercury.

Lovely to hear a modern singer using his natural voice with none of the annoying affectations a lot of them use.

You might find this strange, Sam, but I discovered this song on Ted Lasso just as my husband of 35 years decided to leave me. This song became my anthem as I fought through the shock and grief. 2 years later and this video has popped up for me. I'm going to play it full blast as I celebrate how strong and independent I feel today. Thank you so much!

[westgermanica]

As a cancer survivor, my heart and mind are so deeply stirred by Sam’s amazing voice and song. You are the best, Sam. Thank you.

[Nana-nel]

We are blessed to have Sam Ryder. Truly amazing.

That last note where you harmonise Brian's guitar part, i couldn't tell where your voice ended and the violin carried on.... Just beautiful ❤️✨

[lyndaaraujo]

For more singers like you, many successes, that talent deserves to be heard and admired, God bless your voice.

[Wulfie]

Can't believe that i just now found this song to day. That's one way to bring a grown ass man to his knees, just sitting here crying and feeling stuff that i haven't been dealing with over the last couple of years.

[TheAlphaBette]

This reminds me of Freddie,
"Who wants to live forever...?" Lovely!

[mrsnicoline]

Am I the only one who feels this is a mix of an Abbas song ´The winner takes it all´ and Queens song `Who wants to live forever´?

[f.r.o]

How have I never heard of this man? This song? I'm utterly floored by him!! 😮 My God!

[cacs]

Omg Freddie has been reborn in this man Sam your an absolute star ❤️❤️

[juliemaynard-tyck]

Seen him live, once in Manchester, UK, and at a beach in Cornwall, so brilliant, he's so genuine, happy and of course wonderful singer/writer

[HeLL-clone]

I wanna see and hear this guy live!... lots of love from Denmark

[simonebrandt]

Oh mein Gott, du singst mit so viel Herz und Gefühl .Danke Sam .
