Sam Smith

Sam Smith, born May 19, 1992, in London, first gained attention contributing vocals to Disclosure's "Latch" (2012) before their debut album "In the Lonely Hour" (2014) debuted at number one in the UK and produced the Grammy-winning "Stay with Me." At the 2015 Grammy Awards, Sam swept four categories—Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album—a feat only a handful of artists have achieved. The James Bond theme "Writing's on the Wall" (2015) earned them an Academy Award for Best Original Song. "The Thrill of It All" (2017) continued their chart dominance. "Love Goes" (2020) embraced electronic influences, while "Gloria" (2023) was their most adventurous, genre-spanning record. Sam publicly identifies as non-binary, becoming one of the most prominent non-binary artists in mainstream pop and a powerful advocate for LGBTQ+ representation globally. Their candid public discussions of gender identity and body image have resonated with millions of fans navigating similar experiences. Sam has earned four Grammy Awards and an Academy Award over their career.
