Sam Pollard began playing the piano at the age of five and has never looked back. As a gifted composer and an accomplished multi instrumentalist in piano, keyboards, electric and acoustic guitars, cornet, trumpet and trombone, Sam Pollard has a voice that can brilliantly blend various styles to create a sound that is uniquely his own.

Raised in the UK but relocated to Australia, Sam's musical influences include the best of British rock as well as classical and jazz styles. He is classically trained, with live experiences ranging from rock to big band jazz and improv, where his excitement for music shines bright through his performances.

Sam completed his debut album "World of Difference" with his band and producer Jimi Maroudas at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne. This body of work is an album with multiple personalities.

He is often compared to Robbie Williams, Queen, David Blunt, Crowded House, Lior, and many other talented artists.
