His music blends aching melodies with raw, honest lyrics — a soundtrack for the heartbroken, the misfits, the quiet hours club and the midnight thinkers.

His debut album Arctic Americana (2021) caught attention across Europe, with songs like Dance the Night Away and Unconditional Love featured in Rolling Stone Germany, Orkus!, and Sonic Seducer. Spotify supported the release with spots on Best Indie from Finland and Best Pop from Finland, while local radio embraced his mix of melancholy and power.

It all started with viral momentum. His 2018 EP Bona Fides broke through when Tomorrow hit #5 and Don’t Let Go reached #4 on Spotify Finland’s Viral 50. Since then, Shaky has played shows across Germany, Sweden, Iceland, and New York, including Mondo.NYC, RISE by gigmit, and Live at Heart Festival.

In the studio, he’s worked with top names like Steve Wilmot (OneRepublic), Dom Morley (Amy Winehouse), and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater). His first Finnish-language single Itäväylä proved that deep, personal songs can cross borders too — landing him a #4 spot on Sweden’s iTunes chart.

Now, as new music approaches in 2025, Sam Shaky continues to do what he’s always done: write for the outsiders, the dreamers, the ones who keep going. His sound is bold, emotional, and true — made for those late hours when everything feels a little more real.
