“Music is the universal language which draws out emotion in people and can empower change” - Samir Shah
The Story…
Samir Shah is an American singer songwriter based on the Gold Coast, Australia.
Emotionally charged, Samir’s sound is a marriage of acoustic soft rock with surf rock, singer songwriter and folksy elements.
With a key belief that music is a universal language that draws out emotions in people to empower change, Samir creates and performs music to connect with people, to help people and motivate them to create positive change.
Despite the often uplifting and positive messages and sound of Samir’s music, a very personal, devastating loss in his family left him lost, without an avenue for his emotions.
However, through his music, Samir found a way to channel his emotions, and begin a process of healing. Samir describes the loss he felt in the deeply poetic, heartfelt single, “Please” which is also featured on his EP, 1947.
Along with “Please”, 1947 showcases Samir’s musicianship, vocal range and songwriting prowess with many of the songs focusing on meaningful grounded philosophies, yet written and delivered in such a way that they connect with and captivate the listener.
Samir’s unique vocals and playing style draw on a wide range of musical influences including Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, George Ezra and Ed Sheeran. Samir remains passionate and focused on creating influence and change through his music, while providing an emotional release for his listeners.
