His musical journey started at the age of 7 after he was gifted a piano from his father.[2] He started playing the piano at church shortly after. Over the years, he worked as a music director in various UK churches. [3]Balancing a growing interest in music with his education, Samuel spent hours crafting hundreds of songs within the confines of his bedroom. After gaining experience producing original compositions for musicals and other artists, he made a pivotal decision to embark on a solo music career. In 2016, on his 21st birthday, 'CalledOut Music' was born with the release of his debut single, 'Working On Me.' Samuel chose the name ‘Called Out’ with the aim to get everyone to have the belief or mindset that they are called out for service to God. He is signed to an independent record label called HFP Music. [2] [4]
