BEGINNERS
BEGINNERS, the genre-blending creative force of Sam Barbera, a multi-instrumentalist Los Angeles based musician who also serves as one fourth of the rising band L.A. Exes. She has made a name for herself in LA’s music scene as a talented songwriter and captivating frontwoman, leading to collaborations with artists like Kygo, and tours with Tove Lo and Walk The Moon. Her incredible ear for a great hook and left-of-center productions has led to over 55 million streams for her songs, and landed placements in campaigns for the likes of Apple and Samsung as well as on shows including Riverdale, Shameless and currently Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon trailer. To make it all the more impressive, everything the self-driven Barbera has accomplished to date has been done independently and on her own terms. Live the music is brought to life with the raw energy of guitarist Bianca Posey, keyboardist Honor Nezzo and drummer Jason Walker. Barbera’s musical journey began at 12 when she started playing guitar. She gravitated towards the punk and hardcore scene, which made her a bit out of place in the Indiana farm town she grew up in. After years both playing in bands and leading them, with BEGINNERS Barbera has found an outlet to completely follow the whims of her creativity. “I let myself cross genres and I’m not afraid to experiment with my sound anymore,” she explains. That freedom can be heard in her newest music, as she moves fluidly through elements of pop, trap and punk.
