Diskografi James Sampson * Booking forespørgsel
James Sampson has lived in Denmark since 1999 and he has
achieved a great deal in that short time. He has won a popular TV show, “Star
for a Night” on DR1 and has also released three albums. With his fourth album,
“The Best of Me – Past and Present”, James Sampson presents a collector's CD
with two brand new numbers.
The James Sampson who performes on the new album is more fit than ever. Since
the last album he has lost no less than 33 kilos, which according to him were 33
totally excess kilos.
I feel incredibly privileged that I can already make a collection of my
favourite numbers from the three earlier albums, all of which I have been crazy
about. It is wonderful to gather all the numbers that I love to sing on one
album and at the same time, look forward to two new and fantastic numbers.
So says the cheerful James Sampson who also participated in the Danish Song
Contest 2007. He participated with the song “Say You Love Me”, which is also one
of the two new numbers on the album. This was the first time he participated in
the song contest.
In the long-term I would like to do something other than Motown, but I’ll cross
that bridge when I come to it. Right now, it’s about “The Best of Me – Past and
Present”, which I am very excited to perform. I love Motown, but it’s also good
to have dreams for the future.
“The Best of Me – Past and Present” was released on 16 March 2007.
If anyone should believe that James Sampson just appeared out of nowhere when he
won on TV, they need to think again. Actually, a career in music has been in the
cards for a long time and when his TV breakthrough occurred, he was actually
about to form a band.
James was born and raised near Los Angeles, USA in an incredibly musical family
where already as a baby he was surrounded by music morning, noon and night.
James Sampson moved to Denmark in 1999 and he did so for one reason only: his
wife Evy who is Danish through and through and comes from Albertslund. The
couple met five years before in a bar in California where James was a waiter –
and it was certainly the proverbial “love at first sight”.
At that time, Evy worked as an au-pair in the USA. Four months later, they moved
in together. A year later, they were married. And after five years in the USA,
they moved to Denmark.
In Denmark, life developed perfectly for James Sampson, who with his modest
nature has become popular everywhere.
His Danish father-in-law coaxed Sampson into singing Elvis Presley’s
“Impossible Dreams” as a tribute from his father-in-law to his mother-in-law
during his father-in-law’s 60th birthday celebration. James was persuaded and
during the party, his father-in-law video recorded James’ performance. And it
was also his father-in-law who put pressure on the shy and modest James who
finally agreed to have the tape sent in to the Danish National Broadcasting
Corporation.
Sampson can be booked, with his band, for closed company events, church
concerts and other cultural events.
