In this first teaser episode of On The Record, hitmaker Sam Fischer unpacks the deeply personal stories behind his debut album I Love You, Please Don’t Hate Me — all with the benefit of hindsight. Sam opens up about shame, self-worth, radical self-acceptance, and shares a truth about his identity that he’s never said publicly before. Plus, he shows us the audio recording from the writers room where he penned his global hit “This City”, and gives an honest take on major label deals, and what it’s really like being fully independent in the music industry.
