the AU interview: Sampology (Brisbane) talks Daniel Merriweather, "Shine a Light" and touring India.

Sampology‘s single “Shine a Light” has been making waves around the country, featuring the one and only Daniel Merriweather. While he was at BIGSOUND last month we caught up with Sam to talk about the single – which merges Brazilian music, gospel choir music and soul – looks ahead to his Australian tour and talks about his trip to India, and it being “definitely the most different place [he’s] ever been in [his] life”.
