Artist Profile

Sam Cool is an 18 year old rap artist from Leicester. He started off selling mixtapes out of his rucksack at the age of 14 and has since then gone on to release his debut album 'Senior Skip Day' which went to number 8 in the iTunes chart. The music is similar to that of artists such as Wiz Khalifa, who even features on one of the tracks - as well as taking inspiration from the likes of Notorious B.I.G and the Beastie Boys. His name comes from idolizing rapper LL Cool J as a youngster, taking this on to use as a stage name which has stuck. Sam's aspirations for the future are to become a successful producer aswell, with many tracks on the album being produced by friends such as Chevy Woods. He plans to make his name fully by appearing at a festival in the summer of 2012, after being inspired by performances such as Odd Future at Reading festival earlier on in the year.
