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 latest track "You" [In Flames Reprise] featuring Crywolf is drawn from the fact that when it is heard, a multiplicity of meanings and connections can and will surface, some incongruous others complementary, with every new reading strengthening its intertextuality.
