Having been ensconced in the studio working on new material, rising South London tropical pop singer/producer/DJ &around (Sam Simon) is pleased to announce details of a brand new track ‘City Livers’ due this August. We caught up with him for a quick 1 on 1.
So hello &around! if you had to describe your sound with three words only what would they be?
“Summer, tropical, chillout”
You have travelled around Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam and the Philippines- how have these places influenced your sound? Travelling with very little gear got me sketching music down.
Imperfect recordings and sounds were all beautifully part of the sound. Seeing new things every day and a feeling of knowing what the world is like right now. Also 24/7 sun is the one
