With roots in Houston, Texas, atmospheric/lo-fi artist Samuel Proffitt, grew up entrenched in various genres from screamo and punk to indie, folk, and jazz; however, his musical origins lie in his own writing, poetry, and interest in philosophy. Samuel’s fascination with literary expression eventually led him to Boston College, where he received degrees in Russian Literature and Linguistics and Interdisciplinary Philosophy. Currently, he is pursuing his PhD at Brown University, and has matured his perceptive scope of artistic expression. His forthcoming EP titled "Good Death", explores memory, death, trauma, and fragmentation of self, both through theoretical work Samuel has explored while working on his PhD at Brown University, as well as through more visceral, direct forms of art.
