Sam Sparro is an electro-funk music producer from Australia. He is signed to the British Island Records, and is also a child actor. Gospel-trained vocals and multi-instrumental, his songs are danceable, state-of-the-art productions. His sound is said to compare with that of Prince, Jamiroquai, and the Gap Band.
In 2002, while working in a coffee shop, he wrote his hit single "Black and Gold". His songs feature disco influences, and like most of the songs I post here, feature soothing melodic phrasing and a subtle use of vocal harmonies, with a modern rhythm and blues styling. I guess that's my style.
He released a six-track EP in 2007, and a self-titled record in 2008 after signing with British Island Records. I would call this 'flamboyant, gangster electronica'. But, regardless of labels, this song rocks. Check out his Black and Gold video! It's awesome!
