About John Sam
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memories are of Westlife. My aunt, who used to work abroad, would come home to the Philippines with CDs. As a treat, my mom would turn on the AC and blast Uptown Girl and other Westlife songs, and we’d dance to it in our room.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Arctic Monkeys, AM Nirvana, Nevermind Rico Blanco, Dating Gawi Dating Gawi - I love the style and its nostalgic sound. AM - I take it as my personal guide in shaping my music. Nevermind - I did not just listen to AM, I made it my whole personality during my late teens and early 20s.

What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When I played “Bumabalik” at Rabbit Hole & I saw the excitement in some of the audiences. I even saw some of them singing along. It was such a stark difference from the time I played where my only audience was the sound guy and my sister.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes, I wanna play my own music in a different city or at a festival. I’d also love to record an album.
