Who Is Sam Smith?
Samuel “Sam” Frederick Smith is a world-famous English Singer and songwriter. He was born to Frederick Smith and broker Kate Cassidy in London on May 19, 1992. They grew up in Great Chishill and attended the Thomas More Primary School there.
Smith struggled with body dysmorphia from a very young age due to their weight and was bullied for having breasts as a child. They underwent a liposuction procedure at 12, which must have been a traumatic experience for a child of that age.
Thankfully, music is said to have helped them through the trying times while growing up. They found their love for music early in life and started auditioning for music plays in theaters and singing in jazz bands.
Smith joined the Youth Music Theatre UK and appeared in the troupe’s 2007 production of “Oh! Carol,” a musical featuring the music of Neil Sedaka. Before finding stardom, they released two singles, “Bad All Week” in 2008 and “When It’s Alright’ in 2009.
They had their first major hit when featured on the Disclosure song “Latch,” released on October 8, 2012. The song peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart and is still commonly referred to as one of the best songs of the year 2012.
In February of the following year, Smith released the first single, “Lay Me Down,” from their debut album “In The Lonely Hour” and featured on the famous Naughty Boy’s single “La La La.” The collaboration was highly successful and peaked at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart.
The “Fire on Fire” singer has become one of the most successful UK singers and has featured some of the biggest names in the music industry, such as Labrinth and Demi Lovato.
