5AM

ABOUT

Once an art school student burning the midnight oil in the studio with a soundtrack always in the background, Sam Andrus aka 5AM has since forged his inspirations from jazz, funk, and beyond into a style of expertly woven bass music known to captivate audiences with mesmerizing detail and high resolution sound design. 5AM is fusion, and to bring his journey full circle, Sam has formed the 5AM Trio, a collaboration complete with live drumming from ZONE Drums (Aaron Harel) and guitar, bass, and pads from Keith Wadsworth, and has also begun performing fully improvised live looping sets. 5AM is now a seasoned performer who's shared the stage with Tipper, Shpongle, Jade Cicada, Kursa, kLL sMTH, Detox Unit, Papadosio, Lotus, Kalya Scintilla, Random Rab, and more, and has lived and built strong roots up and down the east and west coasts of the US.
