Biography
[edit]Early and personal life
[edit]Samuel was born on April 18, 1995, in Nigeria, where he spent his formative years before relocating to the UK with his family at the age of 12. His musical journey commenced at the age of 7 when his father gifted him a piano[2]. He began honing his skills by playing the piano at his local church, and started composing music in his bedroom shortly after.[3] Eventually, Samuel made the decision to pursue a solo music career, marking the birth of 'CalledOut Music' on his 21st birthday in 2016 with the release of his debut single, 'Working On Me.' The name 'CalledOut' was chosen with the intention of inspiring individuals to recognize their calling for service to God.[4] He is signed to an independent record label called HFP Music. [2] [4]

He has collaborated with other global artists, including Samm Henshaw[8], Guvna B, Ric Hassani, Pompi, Limoblaze, Becca Folkes, and Triple O.
