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, sparking his passion for music[2]. He began honing his skills by playing the piano at his local church. Despite the demands of his education, Samuel dedicated countless hours to composing music in his bedroom. His experience as a music director in various UK churches further nurtured his talent. Eventually, Samuel made the significant 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. He is signed to an independent record label called HFP Music. [2] [3]
Samuel holds a degree in B.Sc Accounting & Finance from the University of Kent.
He married his long-term girlfriend on 15th April 2024.
