A Pandemic Spark and a Guitar in Hand

It wasn’t until the world stood still during the Covid-19 pandemic that Sammie found the time and space to return to her musical roots. She picked up a guitar and began shaping the melodies she had long held inside. This period marked a turning point—an emotional and creative renaissance that would lead to her debut release.

Fittingly, Sammie’s debut was a heartfelt cover song from her favorite childhood TV show, a nod to the earliest sparks of musical inspiration. This cover wasn't just a tribute—it was a reclaiming of identity, a way of saying, “I’m here, and music has always been with me.”

Born in rural Wales to a family immersed in music and stage performance, Sammie Soravia seemed destined for a life in the arts. Surrounded by harmonies and melodies from a young age, she began writing lyrics and crafting tunes as a child. But like many artists, her path to music was not a straight one.

Before embracing her passion full-time, Sammie chose a different career route—one that took her across continents, particularly to Sydney, Australia, where she worked for over fifteen years. But music never truly left her side. It was a silent yet constant companion, grounding her in unfamiliar places and offering comfort during life’s unpredictability.

Looking Ahead: A Voice to Watch

Sammie Soravia is still early in her official musical journey, but her authenticity already sets her apart in a saturated space. With a voice rich in lived experience and a pen fueled by emotion, she’s carving a path through the folk and country music scene with grace and originality.

As more listeners discover her story—from her Wales roots to her transformative years in Sydney, to her travels in the USA—they're likely to find not just a talented artist, but a voice that feels like home.

Whether you’re seeking music to heal, to reflect, or simply to enjoy, Sammie’s work is a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to return to what you love.

Sydney, the USA, and the Sound of Folk and Country

While her Welsh upbringing grounded her in the storytelling tradition of folk music, it was her travels through the United States and life in Sydney that intensified her love for folk and country. The open-hearted narratives, the unpolished emotion, the raw guitar strumming—these genres gave her a new voice and shaped her songwriting style.

Influenced by these experiences, Sammie began crafting songs that reflect her own life’s tapestry: the triumphs, the heartbreaks, the moments that changed everything. Her lyrics are honest and relatable, written with a clarity that cuts deep yet offers healing.

“Music Has Always Been My First Love

Sammie’s connection with music runs deeper than performance—it's therapeutic, nostalgic, and deeply personal. “Music has always been my first love,” she shares, “and my most constant companion, with specific songs spiriting me back to pivotal moments in my life.”

This sentiment defines her artistry. Whether it's a song that pulled her through a tough time or one that amplified a moment of joy, Sammie understands the power of music to document life, console the soul, and inspire others. She writes with the hope that her songs will become soundtracks in someone else’s life.
