Melbourne-based artist Woody Samson has taken their first steps as a solo artist, though they’re no stranger to the music world. From early classical trumpet lessons at the age of 7 to singing in church choirs, their journey has always been underscored by music.
Guitars and songwriting became their refuge and outlet for processing life’s complexities. From joining a prog metal band called Alex Anonymous to navigating the challenges of their twenties, Woody’s connection to music evolved and adapted. Woody Samson’s journey in the music scene has seen them supporting notable artists like Angus and Julia Stone, Alex Lahey and even Evermore and The Butterfly Effect through various projects.
However, it’s their solo venture that allows them to be authentically themselves. This authenticity shines through in their music and is beautifully captured in their debut single, “Don’t Let Them,” a true celebration of self-expression and empowerment with Woody Samson’s compelling vocals layered over a groove-driven instrumental cut.
With “Don’t Let Them,” Woody Samson serves up an infectiously catchy slice of shimmering indie pop music. Kicking off with a grooving blend of rhythmic drum punches, guitar chords, pulsing bass and a slick lead guitar riff, before the verse sees Woody’s commanding vocals lay down empowering lyrics via biting delivery above bold bass shots and intricate funky guitars.
The chorus erupts with a dazzling blend of lofty synths as the artist threads instantly memorable melodic leads. It’s an emphatic artistic statement from an artist who makes their explosive entrance as a solo artist with a sensational single that pairs originality with commercial appeal.
It’s an impressive debut that marks the beginning of a promising solo career. Now surrounded by a collective of like-minded creatives, including Tejo D’Cruz, Lewis Ciavarella, Kiwat Kennel, Thea Fitzgerald, Lewis Toms, Camryn Jordans, Marcus Knight and Remedy, Woody Samson is set to continue winning over new fans around the world as they share their captivating sound.
