‘SHAWTY’ is a fiery and outlandish R&B-Hip Hop bop, produced in collaboration with award-
winning producer, EDY. Already a veteran of the NZ music scene at 22, SAM V has been in the
spotlight and releasing music since age 12, having worked with the likes of Vince Harder, Donell
Lewis, Lion Rezz & Parris Goebel. SAM V’S SHAWTY sees him channelling these experiences into
a more mature, brash & explicitly-charged R&B vocal performance, likened to that of Justin
Timberlake & Jason Derulo. Lyrically, he also flashes his potential as an MC, spitting an energetic and
impressionable verse.
Following a successful 2019 where SAM V was a prominent feature on the NZ Hot Singles charts,
released 2 albums & 10 music videos, and started his own creative collective called Y$O,
SAM V has waltz’d back into 2020 with a statement worth ‘rolling wid’. Namely a statement called -
‘SHAWTY’.
Keeps tabs on this young creative, as he inevitably has more output up his sleeve in 2020.
Catch Sam V as he headlines Y$O Vol.2 at Anthology Lounge on March 6.
