Raised at the bottom of the world, Sam Cullen is on his way up. 

The Invercargill-born musician is rising in the music world, having already performed on the main stage at Rhythm & Vines, as well as playing on some of the coolest stages around the country. 

He’s been working quietly behind the scenes on his self-titled debut album, which is set to release soon. 

Some of the songs on the album, he revealed to Jack Tame, are about five or six years old. 

“It’s kind of been less of a, I’m going to sit down and write an album,” Cullen said. 

“But the last five years of my life, these are like, the best songs I’ve written and haven’t released yet.” 

Only being 25 years old, this means the songs were written throughout the early days of his adulthood – resulting in themes of coming of age and entering adulthood weaving throughout the album. 

“I’m pretty proud of it and excited to have it out.”
