It's KICK Unsigned round 5!  Described as “Bowie meets Sam Fender”, no one does it quite like Sam Cullen. Zoe catches up with Sam to chat about the last two years, he's not only released two EPs and sold out shows around the country, but already played the main stage at rhythm and vines. His immaculately produced music sits somewhere between driving stadium rock and synthy alt-pop, and comes to life live, where Sam plays his entire set solo. Happy Mag described him as “the next big thing to come out of New Zealand” and we think they've hit the nail on the head.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
