Samfire, one of BBC Introducing Suffolk’s “Ones to Watch,” is quickly making waves in the alt-pop scene with her hauntingly beautiful blend of dark, ethereal melodies and emotionally raw lyrics. She writes songs as confessions, expressing the moody, volatile core that runs through her. With a history of closing herself off, Samfire turned to production and songwriting as a way of understanding who she was and freeing herself to be messy and intimate with the world around her. Her songwriting takes every day conversations and occurrences and expresses them in the melodramatic way that they are experienced. Through this she demonstrates how personal truths can collide with universal experience. 

Samfire first came to songwriting through production, teaching herself to use Ableton on the Suffolk coast. It was here that she coined her solo project, enriching an alt-pop sound with broad influences including many years in orchestras and choirs.
