Influenced by her father’s passion for Bob Dylan and her brother’s love of the guitar, Samantha Marais started playing guitar herself at the age of eight, and has been singing and writing songs ever since. Arriving in London in the late '90s at the age of 20, Sam lost no time in forming her first band, Contraband, with her ex-boyfriend. After the band split she decided to pursue a solo career, returning to her folksy roots and favouring an acoustic guitar and simple, honest narrative songs.
