“Sam Chimes is a multi-talented Afro Canadian musician. Chimes’ music has been influenced from a mix of his years moving around the world, and his experience as a sound technician in the film industry. He was Born in Africa, lived in Brunei, South East Asia, and he now resides in Canada. With his jazzy, soulful vibes, he uses a looper and a microkorg synthesizer to create instrumentals on the spot, layers his voice, and performs for his audience. Chimes has performed in over 13 countries outside of Canada. He recently came back from his fourth international tour, performing at shows in Australia, South of France, South Korea, to name a few, and street performing in between. He is now working on studio recordings and music videos soon to be released. Sam Chimes will leave you mesmerized and inspired.”
