Presented by SXSoul
Samoht at Parker Jazz Club
Samoht is a child of the ancestors—past, present and the future
wrapped up all into one. Born a 90s kid in Wilson, North Carolina, Samoht
is product of a musical family consisting of a mother who played multiple
instruments at his childhood church. Naturally, Samoht joined the
children’s choir at the urging of his grandmother, cultivating a voice that
now heals the brokenhearted and elevates the minds of others. Samoht’s
biggest influence is nature. The sound of the animals, the wind as it tickles
the leaves on the trees and the white noise that permeates through the
silence of the night all ignites his creative process. That didn’t change
once he moved to New York City, releasing projects, “Mxxn Wave” & “OMEN”
in 2018 with a 3rd record, dubbed “EXIT” in rotation in 2019. In 2020 & 2021 appear on features with Luke James and release 2 ep and CLEAR & ALPHA In the midst of
sonic pollution that plagues millennials, Samoht is a breath of fresh air,
honoring traditional R&B. But, it's his alternative approach that will keep
audiences craving his ear candy.
