"Sam Letric "LifeLuvnMusik""

Sam Letric’s full-length “Nothing On the Radio,” introduced the soul-soaked prodigy to a select audience in 2007. Four years later, it’s time for the mainstream to bow down to the masterful singer, songwriter and instrumentalist’s second love child, “LifeLuvNMusik.” The pastor’s son was listening to Sam Cooke and Al Green at age 4, playing guitar by 6 and named music director at his church at 13. Here, Letric wears his heroes on his sleeve, conjuring Prince and Terence Trent D’Arby with as much ferocity as old-school legends from the 1960s and 1970s. In skilled slow jams “Mrs. Right” and “Genesis,” he is as smooth and sensuous as high-end silk; while he harkens decades past in the delightfully retro “Acrophobia” or “G&S”; gives Stevie Wonder a run for his money on spiritual Kissed By the Sun”; and offers a shout-out to Simon & Garfunkel on “Innocent.” But title cut “LifeLuvNMusik” is all Letric’s, and an ideal opening track, with its urgent click-clack groove and uptempo fervor, truly worthy of launching the singer to a national following. Letric says he’s performed blues, rock, acoustic, R&B, jazz and gospel for audiences of all sizes at coffee shops, birthday parties, church events, clubs and jam sessions. One listen and you’ll know that Sam Letric is ready to graduate from wedding halls to Radio City Music Hall. He’s that accomplished

""That was on of the best live performances that I had ever seen""

That was one of the best live performances I had ever seen. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was simply amazing. I could tell immediately that Sam was truly a musically gifted individual. The evening began with a few acoustic songs that grabbed the audience's attention, my favorite being "What You Like" I think that everyone was blown away when he began singing and playing the electric guitar ... People jumped out of their seats and hit the dance floor. He really has a captivating energy about him and his music sounds so smooth soulful and passionate. - Aaron Robinson

Bio

Sam Letric’s musical journey began more than twenty years ago. As the son of a pastor, he got his start in church as a guitarist and vocalist. Traveling from city to city and within various states, sharing a passion with older musicians and an attentive audience came like breathing to Sam. An ever-growing passion soon led him to songwriting and producing with an aspiring artist from Boston, a few stints with R&B groups, and later the birth of his first solo project, Nothing on the Radio (2007). His freshman debut was inspired greatly by heartbreak and was never meant to be an official release. However, the overwhelming response from his fans on MySpace prompted him to.

Though his first release failed to garner much consideration, it provided Sam with a sense of motivation to create something even better. From here, he began to write and record his sophomore album, LifeLuvNMusik (2011). However, eight months prior to the release, Sam suffered a sports injury that required surgery and extensive rehabilitation therapy. After managing to record the last five songs for the album on a broken leg, Sam remained in therapy. The process of recovery took a toll on Sam and he took some time away to reflect on the direction he wanted to go with his career and what his plans would be for his next album.

In the time away from the scene, however, the success of LifeLuvNMusik continued to ignite a passion. In 2013, he began work on his new brand and identity, beginning what he called the “Who is Sam Letric? Project.” This mission was designed to be media focused, using videos, marketing, and a final introduction to an audience, which he’d teased with glimpses of promise.

Though an unsigned artist, Sam has certainly not gone unnoticed. In a review of his album LifeLuvNMusik, Billboard Magazine stated that he would no doubt graduate on to Radio City Music Hall one day: “One listen and you’ll know that Sam Letric is ready to graduate from wedding halls to Radio City Music Hall. He’s that accomplished.”

In a business saturated with falsity, Sam is a strong believer in bringing quality and honesty to the independent music industry. He relies heavily on passion, originality, and authenticity, and his music is carefully crafted and fresh, offering listeners a new perspective on the culture, unfiltered by major corporations. Creative control is very important to Sam. He composes his music via analog, which provides a distinctly old school feel that harkens back to the greats before him. Sam is a modern-day trailblazer, aiming to lead the pack in a new movement of music and inspire other artists and musicians to take their craft and business to the next level.

With the new website now complete, the latest album 7days draws near. Although fans are unsure of what to expect from his constant improvement and consistent development of his style, most are anxious to see what this new album and long awaited tour will hold. One thing that’s for certain is that Sam’s dedication to his craft and business has earned him the right to a listen and that may be all he needs to catapult him to Radio City Music Hall and beyond.
