Actor and musician Sam Palladio grew up in Cornwall in the southwest of England, but it was in Music City USA, Nashville Tennessee, that Sam got his musical big break playing the role of soulful, country songwriter Gunnar Scott on ABC’s hit TV Drama “Nashville”. Created by Academy award winning writer Callie Khouri “Nashville” ran for 6 season with over 5 millions viewers each week. Sam found himself immersed in the worlds of Americana, folk and country and was able to make music with some of the finest musicians and songwriters in the world.

Sam recently set out to make his debut album. Having lived and made music in Nashville for nearly a decade, he felt his debut needed to reflect his British roots, Cornish upbringing and his time spent on both sides of the world.

In 2022 he teamed up with Danish producer Søren Hansen (of New Politics) and multi Grammy-winning producer Dave Sardy (Oasis, Snow Patrol, LCD Soundsystem, The Who).

His 1st single “Something On My Mind” was released to critical acclaim in November last year and will be followed by his next single “Tennessee” will be released in April featuring Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters.

Sam's other television and film credits include, Netflix’s “The Princess Switch” trilogy, AMC's "Humans”, Showtime's "Episodes" alongside Matt Leblanc, ABC’s primetime drama “Rebel” opposite Katy Segal and Andy Garcia and most recently stars in the new Bob Marley Biopic “One Love” which released in February 2024.
