Another talented artist joining our team...

Born in Hamilton, and raised in the sunny coastal town of Whangarei, acoustic soul singer/songwriter Sam Bartells currently resides in Auckland.

Bartells has a husky timbre and a love of raw acoustic guitar – his influences being the honest lyrics and memorable melodies of Ben Harper, James Taylor , Jimmy Barnes , Neil Finn and Dave Dobbyn to name a few.

Bartells began writing and playing at the age of 15, compelled by the need to tell his stories about love, life and addiction.
