About The Artist

Fischer wrote "This City" in 2016 and it was released in early 2018 where it was shared by people including Meghan Trainor and Lewis Capaldi. In 2020 Fischer reflects saying "The song got a lot of eyes on it, but it wasn't getting any love from anyone for a long time except for the fans. When I say anyone, I mean Spotify, Apple, Amazon. But it was a fan-favourite." 18 months later, it was featured on TikTok and as Fischer says "It changed everything for me". The exposure lead to Fischer receiving a DM from RCA Records UK which lead to the signing. "This City" is a song by Australian recording artist Sam Fischer. The song was recorded in 2017 and was released in January 2018 as the third and final single on Fischer's debut EP Not a Hobby. Fisher said "I wrote this with James Michael Robbins and Jackson Morgan on a day when I felt pretty damn defeated by LA. Change is really hard, but so important. This is my experience, one that almost everyone goes through, hope it helps in some way." After signing with RCA Records in 2019, the song was re-released.

Fischer was born outside of Sydney in 1991 and grew up on a farm in the town of Grose Vale, just outside Sydney, Australia. His musical life began at age three when he started playing violin after being inspired by seeing a performance by Queenie. He moved with his family to Sydney when he was seven, and at age 10 took up the saxophone, later playing in his high school jazz band. By age 12, he was writing songs. In 2010 he was accepted to Berklee College of Music in Boston, and moved to that city to study music. He is classically trained on saxophone and violin. At Berklee he joined the vocal troupe Pitch Slapped, which won an a cappella competition in 2014. Fischer's debut release was as a featured artist on Alex Preston's single "Heartbeats" in July 2012. In September 2014, after graduating from Berklee, Fischer moved to Los Angeles, where he was active in the local a cappella scene and sang backing vocals for the band HOLYCHILD[4] while writing songs and aiming for success as an artist on his own.
