SAM TRUMP
A multi-instrumentalist/recording artist/producer from Houston, TX, Sam has been a student of music from first picking up the trumpet at age 7. Since moving to Chicago in 2009 to obtain his fine arts degree in music, he has become heavily involved in Chicago's live music scene, and is widely known as a band leader, sideman, mentor, and music curator. Wherever he is, Sam Trump is known for creating a vibe that is sophisticated and soulful.
Sam Trump’s debut album, Purple Skies (January 2018) documents the early maturation of his solo artistry, covering topics of love and romance, family, inspiration, societal interdependence, and the Black American plight. All songs are produced by his long-term collaborator and LA based producer, Calvin Valentine, who also produced his previous release, Love Notes (February 2017). Sam Trump released his first self-produced EP, Sam Trump Plays the Uke (June 2013), which showcased new songs that were written and composed on the ukulele.
In addition to his solo work, Sam Trump is a co-founder of ChiBrations, a social platform that highlights Soul singers in Chicago, and was deemed a "Renaissance Musician" by The Chicago Tribune in 2016. He is also an original member of long-standing hip-hop/soul/jazz band Sidewalk Chalk, in which he plays trumpet.
