“For a long time now Australian artists have been struggling to represent the Urban sound in Australia, I think because basically it was about copying U.S. artists, and it hasn’t worked. Now there is a new breed who are taking this sound and making it their own, much like is happening in the U.K. at the moment with artists like Rizzle Kids & Tinie Tempah. Sammy G is one of those fresh new Aussie artists on the Urban scene and a great representative of the new-style talent we have in Australia. The Edge is proud to play her music. Predicting big hits and big things to come...”
