About Sam Wedgwood
Music Composer
Originally a classically trained trumpeter, Sam won a trumpet scholarship to the Royal Academy in London, but later became more classical and pop compositionally based.
Previously, as the multi-instrumentalist in Jamie Cullum’s band, he toured extensively and played in top venues throughout the globe.
Ceasing life on the road gave Sam an opportunity for writing and recording rock and pop songs, together with being an in-demand live performer close to home.
Sam now focuses on composition, mainly orchestral and piano, and has had many pieces recorded at the prestigious Abbey Road Studios in London.
