Singer-Songwriter Sam Austins Talks His New Project HOMELESS STAR , his collaboration with Sir Chloe, and his Motown roots

At just around 21 years-old, Sam Austins had a random run in with fashion magnate Phillip Lim– who heard Sam’s ANGST EP and invited him to be an honorary guest at his 2017 New York Fashion Week show. In what seemed to be a blink of an eye, he went from couch-hopping to sitting next to Diplo, AlunaGeorge, and Big Sean. From there he linked up with multiplatinum producers Take A Daytrip and dropped ‘Fiji‘, which went on to amass over a million streams. He then joined forces with Black Milk for ‘Black NASA,’ which HYPEBEAST plugged. Along the way, he managed to land placements in VH1’s Love & Hip-Hop and HBO’s Euphoria with ‘Motivation.’ In late 2019, he became the recipient of TIDAL’s Unplugged Grant and recorded ‘LAST MONEY,’ ‘WINGS,’ and ‘STAR.’ By 2020, he caught the attention of APG/Atlantic Records and wound up with a deal. Not to mention, he co-wrote the gold-selling ‘Wolves‘ feat. Post Malone from Big Sean’s #1 blockbuster Detroit 2.
Watch below as Sam talks about his previous accolades as well as his upcoming drop HOMELESS STAR and his most recent release, ‘JOY FOR YOUTH’ featuring Sir Chloe.
