Sam Smith, whose real name is Samuel Frederick Smith, is a well-known British soul musician who is noted for his lyrics that question traditional notions of romantic love.
Smith was raised in Cambridgeshire; his parents were a banking mother and a truck driver father. Smith’s parents encouraged him to sing from a young age after hearing him perform Whitney Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love” for them.
Smith continued her vocal training and soon began performing locally and with Youth Music Theatre UK. She went through six managers before eventually leaving for London at the age of 18 to look for opportunities.
Who is Sam Smith’s father Frederick Smith?
Sam Smith is the youngest of three children born to Kate Cassidy and Frederick Smith.
His father, Frederick Smith, was largely a stay-at-home dad, despite being a former van driver who also ran a fruit and vegetable stand, while his mother was a well-paid broker who was subsequently fired for allegedly using company time to promote her son’s singing career. Not much is known about his father’s personal life.
