    Episode 8 Performing artist Sami Switch talks about masculinity, mental health and asylum seekers

    Sami and Hári are good friends who in conversation explore a range of subjects with warmth and appreciation of each other.  Sami Switch is a half Tunisian, half Irish singer, songwriter, rapper and poet from Reading. He is signed to BMG publishing and has current writing credits on various chart songs, including an official chart number 3 with "Wes Nelson- See Nobody". After releasing 3 bodies of work (Carpe Diem, Momento Mori, Solace) we can see he’s got an incredible understanding of the way words work, and how to play with them. His lyrically layered experiments need to be peeled like an onion. His viral poem "Ocean of Pain' deciphering and exploring his mental health opened up work with mental health charities and blogs and is a big part of his work. Sami has also worked with young refugees and a charity "Phosphoros Theatre" to build confidence in storytelling, poetry and rapping. This led to Phosphorus Theatre touring their show all around the UK and winning awards at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His feet are firmly planted on the ground, but that doesn’t stop him from taking any track sky-high with his vigor and his penchant for verbal assault. He is currently working on releasing his fourth project expected for summer 2021.
