I am Sam Cullen, a singer/songwriter based in Invercargill, New Zealand. I play, write, record and produce my own music. I am heavily involved in the local music scene playing solo originals and cover gigs throughout Southland in pubs, restaurants and at private functions, creating a local profile and audience. Spending hours of time writing and recording music, I have gradually found a sound in a pop-infused, singer/songwriter style combining mellow guitar motifs, colourful backing instrumentation and experimental sampling. This, I attribute to an extensive range of musical influences from playing and gigging with a small jazz group to drawing inspiration from international artists such as Radiohead and The National to frequently playing gigs with nothing more than my own acoustic guitar and microphone.
