Newark, NJ native, Samar Newsome grew up in the church where he honed his soul-infused style of poetic messages of truth and love over lavish chords and harmonies. His musicianship only adds to the character of his music. Having studied classically at Westminster in Princeton, and served in multi-denominations of churches since the age of 14, Samar really has a strong conviction of the real truth and delivers it smoothly and with a soulful uniqueness. His debut album "Depths of My Soul" garnered mass support and interest in an industry with limited choices. He’s been characterized as a mix between D’angelo and Fred Hammond with the soul conviction and awareness of Donnie Hathaway and Marvin Gaye. Now with his holiday addition, Samar hopes to reinvigorate the interest in his music which still remains original and true to his deep roots in soul.
