Born in Recife, Brazil, and currently residing in Lisbon, Sam Nobrega is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and producer. Influenced by the Brazilian melodies his parents sang and listened to at home and on the radio, and driven by his love for Brazilian folk songs, street culture, and genres and movements like samba funk, forro, Ijexa, Manguebeat, and Bossa Nova, Sam embarked on a journey of musical self-discovery. In 2017, he took the stage with his first shows presenting his original music, performing at the Misturada festival in Florianopolis, southern Brazil, and at renowned venues in his hometown. However, it was in 2019 that Sam Nobrega unveiled his debut single, ”A Vida Vai e Volta,” showcasing his instrumental prowess in a live video on top of a building. Subsequent releases like ”Ruas Desertas,” an independent release during the pandemic, demonstrated Sam”s debut album ”Ponta de Dois Lados,” produced by Sam and Pedro Diniz, is slated for release by the British label Freestyle Records late November 2024.
