SAM SMITH FOR THE WIN

The accomplished 22-year-old rounds out a year of successes with a total of six Grammy nominations.


Wildly successful British artist Sam Smith has broken new ground this year, claiming his place as the first male artist in 34 years to be nominated for all four ‘big’ Grammy awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Best New Artist and Song of the Year. In addition to these, Mr Smith is being nominated for Best Vocal Pop Album and Best Pop solo Performance.

Since the release of his debut album In the Lonely Hour this year, Smith has been the recipient of numerous accolades, including the BRIT Critics’ Choice Award, the BBC Sound of 2014 Prize, Pop/Rock honours at American Music Awards and the VH1 2014 You Oughta Know Artist of the Year award, to name a few. In the Lonely Hour debuted at #2 in both Australian and US charts and has achieved Double Platnuim in the UK and Ireland.

Mr Smith will be touring Australia in May 2015, with all shows bar Brisbane sold out.
