Hailing from Long Beach in southern California, sam marke is a proudly autistic singer-songwriter who uses his sonic endeavour to raise awareness around the condition. Drawing on his own lived experiences, he wears his heart on his sleeve with his songwriting, infusing his music with honest and personal lyricism.
The budding musician has recently started to flourish as an artist via his first official release with his debut single titled “burden to bear”. Written about his his experience of living with autism and the struggle of being misunderstood, with his first song he hopes to help people who aren’t autistic to be more patient and understanding towards those who are.
While everyone feels misunderstood at one time or another, those with autism may go through this often painful experience more regularly, and on his first single sam marke shares a message of solidarity to encourage people to feel more heard and represented.
Co-written with Producer Jacob Mandel, who’s previously worked with the likes of Melatonin Girls and Tetra Collective, “burden to bear” was mixed by Joey Messina-Doerning and mastered by John Greenham.
Laying down a beautiful piano-based arrangement and lifted by his elegantly soaring vocal leads, sam marke’s debut single captures a captivating sound and provides a dazzling entrance for a new and truly exciting artist.
