The musician is a rising star with a heart as big as their voice and a passion for creating music that resonates within our community. Recently, Sam was named a 2023 Pew Fellow and a WXPN artist to watch as a Black Opry Residency Artist.


Sam Rise is more than just a talented musician – they’re also a fierce advocate for social justice. With a deep commitment to using their platform for good, Sam fearlessly tackles important issues like LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, and mental health awareness through their music and activism

Drawing inspiration from a rich well of musical influences, Sam Rise’s sound is a delightful blend of soul, pop, and indie vibes. At the heart of Sam Rise’s music lies the art of storytelling. Their lyrics are raw, honest, and deeply introspective, offering listeners a glimpse into their innermost thoughts and emotions.

We got the chance to sit down with them recently and pick their brain. Here’s a clip from the interview, where we’ve asked Sam what it means to be “Born to Shine”!
