Sampha is a Electronic and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Yussef Dayes, Tirzah, Fred again.., Peven Everett and Florence Welch.

They run in the same orbit as James Blake, Frank Ocean, D'Angelo, Mk.gee and Nourished by Time, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Givēon, Erin LeCount, Rachel Chinouriri, Dels and Jessie Ware, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
