Emerging rapidly in the UK music scene, singer-songwriter Sam Tompkins has recently released “Time Will Fly,” a track that has already gained a dedicated following among his fans.
Originally recorded in Los Angeles and subsequently reworked to complement the announcement video for his headline show at the Hammersmith Apollo, “Time Will Fly” has garnered immense adoration from both fans and fellow artists. Esteemed names such as Raye, Timbaland, Logic, Ty Dolla Sign, Berwyn, Justin Bieber, and many others have expressed their love for the song.
The accompanying video chronicles Tompkins’ remarkable ascent, starting from his humble beginnings as a 16-year-old busker on the streets of Brighton, a scenic coastal town in the UK, to establishing himself as one of the fastest-rising British male artists. The video has amassed millions of views and generated numerous comments, making waves on platforms like TikTok. You can experience the video firsthand below.
With his highly anticipated debut album on the horizon, Sam Tompkins has an eventful year planned for 2023. In November, he will embark on an extensive tour across Europe, following a busy summer filled with festival appearances. Notably, he will support Pink at London’s BST Hyde Park on June 24 and perform at the Boardmasters Festival in Cornwall on August 12. Additionally, he has a tour in the United States in the works.
Tompkins has emerged as the go-to British artist for collaborations with prominent US stars. His song “Whole” was sampled by Nicki Minaj on the single “Love In The Way,” while JNR Choi’s track “To The Moon” featured Tompkins’ vocals, making a significant impact on the music industry and reaching the top of Spotify’s Viral Hits chart.
Last year, Tompkins made an impressive entry into the top 10 of the UK album charts with his EP ‘who do you pray to.’ He consistently sells out every venue on his live itinerary and has garnered admiration from the likes of Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Krept & Konan, Chip, and Clean Bandit, among others.
