Sam Brittain
Adelaide,SA
Summary
Music has always been my greatest passion since picking up the guitar at age four and has continued to be the focus of my attention since graduating high school in 2007.
Since then I have toured Australia, the United States and Europe for several years running. During this time I independently produced five albums of my own original material as well as collaborating with artists both in Australia and abroad. The scope of these works including singles, collaboration records as well as full studio albums.
I am an independent thinker with a strong work ethic who takes pride in seeing all projects through from the idea's fruition to the best possible outcome.
I pride myself on my ability to adapt quickly, think three dimensionally and bring out the best in my colleagues as well as collaborating artists. I gain great satisfaction from multitasking across multiple discipline's, managing my own time and ensuring my goals are not only achieved but exceeded.
