Sam Tompkins: From busking for pocket money to hanging out with Justin Bieber
Sam Tompkins was in his " local boozer" in Brighton, a few pink gins down, when he got a FaceTime from his " hero" Justin Bieber .
" My mates just couldn't believe it, " the singer-songwriter says.
" It was the weirdest day of My Life . I was like: 'This cannot be happening at the Waggon and Horses pub. '"
Justin had followed Sam on Instagram a few days earlier, DM'd him to say he liked his music, and shared Sam's songs with his 206 million followers.
" I feel like I skipped a lot of steps when I found out that he liked my music, " Sam, 24, tells Newsbeat.
" I was like: 'Surely there's a couple of people that I've got to meet before I meet you?'. "
On FaceTime Justin invited Sam to Los Angeles .
Sam flew Out There and spent a whole day with his new friend, going for lunch and hanging out in the studio together.
" I couldn't have possibly asked for a better day with someone that I've looked up To My whole life.
" It just shows that anything is possible, especially with Social Media . You can really do anything and reach anyone. "
Sam's career started at the Age Of 16, when he busked on The Streets of Brighton for Pocket Money .
" I went to a skate shop in Brighton and I saw this hat and I couldn't afford it, " He Said .
" One of my mates suggested that I went and busked for it, because they knew I could sing. "
He did - and he made The Money to buy the hat " very quickly".
Sam started busking every weekend, and it wasn't long before he started doing gigs too. But wasn't always Easy Money .
He remembers once being booed off stage by people he'd grown up with in his hometown of Eastbourne, where he was opening as support act.
" It was brutal, " he says.
" I came off and I remember that it was sort of a make or break situation for me. "
Since then Sam's released EPs and singles which have brought in millions of streams by listeners, and gone on sold-out tours.
With Big Plans for new music and tours in 2022, Sam's not got plans to go Back on The Streets of Brighton much.
" It's important to know that people make a living off busking, " he says.
" I don't want anyone to feel like I'm taking food away from their mouths, so I wouldn't do it too often. But I do it every now And Then For Fun . "
what a Great Day with my boy! ?:
