Introducing Sam Christie a young and promising Maltese musician who’s just released his latest track titled Don’t Fall Asleep
Sam Christie & Cheryl Lofreda
“The song itself is quite an old song that I released as a single a few years back, and it’s a song about losing friends to suicide and drugs and losing yourself along the way and not really knowing what to do, the video came around when I met Kenneth Cassar and Cheryl Lofreda who told me that they had some ideas for the video.”
“I listened to their ideas and was super excited to start working with them, we shot most of the scenes at Ghajn Tuffieha, Hole In The Wall Pub in Sliema, and Bienne-Switzerland. it’s been an amazing experience working with these guys and I can’t thank them enough.”
Sam started out playing in many different bands before deciding to go solo.,
Telling us he finds inspiration for his writing from 60s style folk songs which he gives a modern twist to.
Meet Me At Spoons
