Sammy Gold first started out as a D.J. or toaster as it was known in those days. In 1978 at the age of 15 years old he found that he was getting inspiration from artists such as Clint Eastwood, Big Youth, Trinity and I. Roy to mention a few, so Sammy decided to try his voice as a D.J. He never achieved much success at that time, so it was in 1979 he decided to change his direction to singing.

It was singers such as Rod Taylor, Anthony Johnson, Glen Washington, Icho Candy, Michael Rose, Michael Prophet, Linval Thompson, Johnny Osbourne, Eek A Mouse, Little John, Don Carlos, Gregory Isaacs, Wayne Wade, Johnny Clark, Hugh Mundell, Junior Reid and Dennis Brown that Sammy would focus on.

In 1987 he came to live in Wolverhampton and linked up with Dread Lester, Ras Muffet and the Q sound crew, they released Sammy Gold’s first single called ‘Call Me Anytime’. Two years later the second release was ‘Girl I Like Your Style’. His third release came in 1996 on the Motivate Movement label, a track called ‘She’s Gone’. To date, this track has had the most success.

Sammy Gold has linked up with various producers around the world to voice a selection of serious roots and culture tunes. He has also voiced many dubplate specials for some of the top sounds systems like King Earthquake, Iration Steppas, One Love, Raggattack, Stereotronic…..AND THE LIST JUST GOES ON.
