Sammy Copley

December saw this singer-songwriter included among TikTok’s Top 10 most viewed artists in Ireland – with Sammy striking a particularly powerful chord with his fans through singles ‘To The Bone’, which has garnered over 1.6 million Spotify streams, and ‘Irish Goodbye’, which explores young Irish people’s difficult relationship with their country. With sold-out shows and a deal with Tinpot Records under his belt, you can expect to hear lots more of this 21-year-old in 2023...

Hear: His latest EP, Little Box.
