live nation presents: alex sampson thank you for loving me tour
ALEX SAMPSON
With humble small-town beginnings, Canadian singer-songwriter, Alex Sampson knew he was born to perform at just nine years old when he entered a school talent show for the first time singing GOLD by Owl City.
“Not a day went by when music wasn’t playing throughout my house” he says talking about his childhood. The multitalented 20-year-old spent most, if not all of his days growing up singing his heart away. But everything changed once he posted his first cover on the social media giant, Tik-Tok in early 2019. He released his first single Stay Here on November 15th, 2019, and has made thousands fall in love with his beautiful lyrics, voice, and personality.
“I like to write music about things that are happening in my life at the moment in time so that when people are listening, it’s like they’re living a little bit of my life with me. I truly wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the fans, so them I thank from the bottom of my heart. I love you all so much. Keep streaming.”
maryjo is a 24-year-old singer/songwriter with an unforgettable voice made for heart-melting piano ballads. Known for her emotional range and vocal agility, she moves effortlessly from full-throated belting to fragile, crackling vulnerability. Though born in Knoxville, she grew up in Cleveland, where she quietly nurtured her passion for songwriting and piano after becoming shy about performing.
It wasn’t until she began posting performance videos online that maryjo started to break through her fear. Her raw talent and emotional vulnerability quickly drew a loyal following of over 1.4 million TikTok fans and landed her on season 19 of American Idol. She then signed a major label deal and debuted with “Love Fools” – a stripped back, emotionally rich, ballad produced by ACM Award-winner Gordon Mote. She followed it with standout singles like “Don’t Call Me” and “Nothing to Lose”, further cementing her as a breakout voice in pop. Her collaboration with global artist CYRIL has surpassed 100 million streams. Now fully independent, maryjo is reclaiming her narrative and leaning deeper into the soul-stirring sound that first made the world listen.
After being banished from her home planet of Venus for her inability to love, Rikki Lumi arrived on Earth to portray the version of herself she wanted others on Venus to see. When she arrived, she discovered Earth’s moon, and its relation to the ocean and tides – the only things she’s ever felt anything for. She’s met some humans and has tried to fit in by singing love songs and forcing herself to try to love the way her ancestors on Venus wanted her to, but she simply hasn’t been successful. Rikki is very interested in the human psyche and how not fitting in is encouraged, not frowned upon. She’s also picked up on habits through the “human music” she’s discovered throughout the few months she’s been here and are often the inspiration for her own music (when she’s not praising space and the ocean of course)
