about
Samuel is a musician/composer from the small village Gnarp in the middle of Sweden. There he grew up and developed his interest of music. His two main instruments are electric bass and violin as he has played since he was 8-9 years old. Samuel began writing music when he was around 13 years, mostly because it was fun and educational. But when he would make a project work in his last year of high school he thought: "Why not make a serious album with my own songs?". Said and done, he recorded an album of his own songs. Samuel plays all the instruments on the album himself, except for drums played by his talented drummer to brother. All the singing is made by Samuel and he also mixed all the songs by himself (the mastring of the album however, he transferred to a pro in England). He recorded everything in a studio in Gnarp, and when the album was finished, he thought: "Why not let the whole world have the opportunity to hear my music?". So Samuel has made it possible for everyone to listen to his first album called "Music Delight" here on Last.fm and it is available to order from CDBaby.com and Amazon.com and to download from iTunes. The music on Music Delight is a mixture of Rock/Pop and Classical/Swedish Folk music with influences from the 70s symphonic rock. More information about Samuel and his music is available at his website http://www.samuelnilsson.com. There you can also download for FREE some different and fun songs Samuel has recorded.

why this is interesting
# Why This Album Merits Your Attention This self-composed work stands out for its genuine exploration of what one musician can achieve alone. Rather than following established genre conventions, the album demonstrates thoughtful instrumental arrangement—particularly in how Samuel balances his dual mastery of violin and electric bass to create textural depth. What makes this compelling is its authenticity: these are songs written by someone discovering his voice as a composer, without pretense or formula. The project reveals how limitation can drive creativity; by playing nearly everything himself, Samuel was forced into genuine compositional decisions about orchestration and voice. For those curious about how musicians develop artistically, or interested in records that prioritize honest ideas over polish, this offers something worth discovering
