Biography

Originally from Retford, a small town in the heart of England, Sam Tucker has been living in Quebec for the last three years. Studying in linguistics, he landed serendipitously in Gaspésie, where he would complete an immersive work placement and subsequently come to love his new found home. Hoping to learn French in a more ‘exotic’ setting than France, Gaspésie exceeded his expectations. Having become well acquainted with the Brise-Bise in Gaspé, he started to perform there regularly, and eventually began playing his own material. Discovered on the 5th season of La Voix, Sam Tucker caused quite a sensation with his blind audition cover of The Reckoning Song by Asaf Avidan. He jumped feet first into the adventure, choosing to join Pierre Lapointe’s team, where he made it to the semi-finals.
