Sam Ock

ABOUT

Sam Ock is a passionate experimentalist, an instinctive musician, and a dauntless lyricist; he seamlessly blends thought with sound and makes music a natural extension of who he already is. His latest project, Style Book, expresses the stylish life, in which true aesthetic is grounded in knowing oneself and being deeply known by others. The songs combine jazz, soul, R&B, hip-hop, gospel, and acoustic elements into a pop, singer-songwriter format. Ock believes that this release is a defining point of his musical journey and is excited to share this sound with the world.

Sam cannot recall a time when music was not a part of his life. “Music was like a family member. I had grown up with it, I knew it intimately, and sometimes I didn’t want to have anything to do with it,” he muses as he tries to pin down the start of his music career. “But I had to do it.” Sam recalls a childhood blanketed with high artistry, threaded with the fabric of his mother’s opera career. “My parents were always playing classical music at home; we never listened to any pop. I remember only having one video of some Korean pop music show, and I’d just play it again and again and again, and again.”
