A Sam Akpro Photo
My name is Sam Akpro. I'm from Peckham.
Simple, laidback and floaty.
The best gig I’ve ever been to was when I saw the Gorillaz live at Boomtown festival like three years ago. It was sick because I hadn’t really listened to them before so I got a full live experience.
I would go on stage with Miles Davis’ band around the time when he made bitches brew because I like the crazy switches in the music he made. The other band would be Joy Division, because they had a lot of energy and stage presence.
Skateboarding has influenced practically my whole teenage existence cause I grew up doing it from the age of 11. It’s where I’ve made the majority of my friends and it’s got me involved in other things like music and graffiti.
That would have to be Miles Davis, just from what I’ve seen him say in interviews about music and the mix between the technicality of playing and the feeling of it. Also, I respect the fact that he didn’t take shit from people. A lot of integrity.
I haven’t been to many venues but the one I did like was the Tate Britain, I played there three months ago with my band. The sound in there was really good because of the acoustics in the gallery.
Yves Tumor cause I feel like he’s tapped into a very unique sound and the evolution of his albums is very unheard of.
