ABOUT
Sam Hudson is an indie-alternative singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar) and DIY producer based in Toronto. Originally from Kent County, New Brunswick, Hudson’s music reflects his journey through spiritual awakening and is characterized by his touch on the piano (think Chris Martin of Coldplay) hooky melodies, lush harmonies and dream inspired instrumentals (The Beatles, Elliott Smith).
Hudson’s first EP, Human (September 2024), is a collaboration with JUNO nominated and platinum selling producer Thomas McKay. Inspired by his journey through mental illness and the intense social disassociation that came with his spiritual awakening, Hudsons first body of work is poignant, honest and highlights the modern human struggle: How to adapt in an increasingly confusing and alienating world. “I find the hypocrisy of the modern age equal parts fascinating and infuriating,” says Sam, “It’s like we've forgotten we're all human.”
Hudson’s debut single, “Icarus”, (2021) reached the top 100 of the Canada wide CBC Music’s Searchlight Competition. “Icarus” was also nominated for Music New Brunswick’s music video of the year award and has been featured on the radio shows CBC Shift and CBC Morning with Joanna Brewer and on CHSR-FM (Fredericton). When not in the studio, writing or performing Sam can be found drinking coffee, musing about philosophy and watching stand-up comedy...all at the same time.
