Sydney, Australia (2008 – present)
Australian Sam Sparro’s music is the sum of his church choir upbringing, his international cultivation and his penchant for back-alley warehouse parties and clubs. Sam’s first album, self-titled, was released in April 2008, as was the single Black & Gold, which was critically acclaimed and performed well in the charts of many countries, reaching number 2 in the UK.
As a child, Sam was a low-mileage triple-threat Christian school boy who acted in commercials and plays, sang in church, and danced just about anywhere there was open space. After moving from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles at the age of 10, he continued to sing in church – learning from some of greatest session singers LA had to offer. Singers that had performed with Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Chaka Kahn and the likes were booking Sam to sing on Demos, TV Shows and records.
At 17 Sam left home and moved overseas again. He went back to Sydney and worked in a music PR company before relocating to London. He quickly developed a love for the city and its accompanying culture and soundtrack. He spent his days temping in Record Companies and such, his spare time making electronic music in his bedroom and his nights dancing at clubs and house parties. After a few years abroad, Sam’s visa was coming to an end so he returned to LA and continued producing and recording in his bedroom.

taking his time to make an album of amazing quality. [2] this. not every artist has access to state of the art production that work none stop for them like most mainstream artist. it's taken him time, but i'm sure it's for a good reason. he wants the album to be perfect and if he wanted to take 12 years to do so, (like d'angelo) than he's entitled to. listen to the music you have by him and wait patiently like everyone else.

Hm, I don't really think Sam Sparro is really lazy, or for that matter, a bitch. He seems like a total sweetheart that is taking his time to make an album of amazing quality. I think once it's out, you'll have regrets for indulging your insatiable needs for new albums.
