Sam Fischer

Samuel Fischer, born on July 5, 1991, is an Australian pop rock singer-songwriter and musician. He initially released music independently before signing with RCA Records in 2019. RCA subsequently re-released his debut EP, Not a Hobby, in January 2020. Fischer was born outside of Sydney in 1991 and grew up on a farm in the town of Grose Vale, near Sydney, Australia. His musical journey began at a young age when he started playing the violin at three years old after being inspired by Queenie's performance. At the age of seven, his family relocated to Sydney, where he later took up the saxophone at ten and played in his high school jazz band. By twelve, Fischer started writing songs, influenced by Human Nature's self-titled album, gifted to him by his parents. He attended Sydney Grammar School and later the Conservatorium High School in Sydney. In 2010, he was accepted into Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he honed his musical skills. Fischer is classically trained in both saxophone and violin. During his time at Berklee, he joined the a cappella troupe Pitch Slapped, which won the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in 2014. Fischer's career began as a featured artist on Alex Preston's single "Heartbeats" in July 2012. After graduating from Berklee in September 2014, he moved to Los Angeles, where he immersed himself in the local a cappella scene and provided backing vocals for the band HOLYCHILD while pursuing his solo career. In May 2016, Fischer released his debut single "Lean," followed by the singles "Same Friends" in 2017 and "Getting Older." He also collaborated with Opia on their single "Secrets." In January 2018, Fischer released his debut EP, Not a Hobby, and followed it up with the acoustic EP Sam Fischer (Our Vinyl Sessions) in May 2018. In January 2019, he collaborated with London's Black Saint on "Everybody Wants You." Throughout the year, Fischer toured with Lewis Capaldi. Later in 2019, he signed with RCA Records, leading to the re-release of his single "This City" in December 2019 and the reissue of his EP Not a Hobby in January 2020, which reached number 15 on the Australian Artist Singles Chart. Fischer has worked with various producers and written songs for artists such as Ciara, Elle King, Sabrina Claudio, Keith Urban, MAX, Christian French, Andy Grammer, Saygrace, and Jessie J. In February 2021, Fischer collaborated with Demi Lovato on the track "What Other People Say," which achieved success on the charts in multiple regions. The song was included on Lovato's album Dancing with the Devil... The Art of Starting Over. In September 2022, Fischer returned to Australia after the COVID-19 pandemic, opening as a support act for British singer Mimi Webb on her tour of Australia and New Zealand. Read more on Last.fm.
