who we are

sam
Singer and writer/composer, follows classical violin studies, later becoming a singer in various rock bands. She creates her 1st electro band in the nineties with which she produces 2 albums.

Sam is the vocal chords of Sam & the Fuse Factory and the main composer of the songs for “First Delivery”, “Soul Food” and “A Love Coup” as well as collaborated in multiple chill-out improvisations, one of which led to the creation of "pae1".

Loves : my family, to do music, the contact with the audience, to find good deals, to take a sea-bath at 28° and feel the sand under her feet, eat pélardon, pink lipstick, her new leather pants, L.A.

Hates : a routine life, to fail in communicating the deepness of a thought in a song, the winter that never ends, to eat in a restaurant and find a hair in her plate, when people talk without knowing what they're talking about.

Artistic influences : Fiona Apple, Björk, Roni Size, Janelle Monae, Prince, Rita Mitsouko, Freddy Mercury, the everyday people in my life.
