Sam Tinnesz

Sam Tinnesz is an indie electropop artist from Oakland, California who started gaining attention around 2011. He followed it with albums like 'Me and the Machine' in 2014 and 'Out of the Blue' in 2016.

His songs often have a driving, anthemic quality, with titles like 'Soldiers,' 'Darkside,' and 'Wild Blood' suggesting a taste for dramatic, cinematic pop. He's a multi-instrumentalist who handles piano, guitar, and drums himself, working primarily as a solo artist though he sometimes brings in collaborators, like Jung Youth on the track 'Fighter.'

In 2017, Tinnesz spoke publicly about living with bipolar disorder, an openness that resonated with many listeners. More recently, his career has been complicated by sexual misconduct allegations from multiple individuals in 2021, which he has denied. He released another album, 'One,' in 2020, and his catalog includes songs such as 'Sound Off The Sirens,' 'Wolves,' and 'Antisocial.'
