Sam Drysdale has signed with ONErpm Nashville.

The Toronto-based singer-songwriter’s 2024 breakout single “Only The Strong Survive” amassed 65 million views and 10 million streams globally, earned a Folk Ontario Award nomination for Song of the Year. His follow-up, “Cold Water,” landed on iHeartRadio’s Future Star program and Rogers’ One to Watch, charting across Top 40, Hot AC, and AC formats and marked his first impact at Canadian radio.

“Artistic independence has always felt like a bit of a high-wire act for me,” Drysdale shares. “Creatively, I value having full control and take pride in doing as much as I can on my own, but the most meaningful part of this journey has been the people I’ve met along the way. ONErpm stood out to me because they truly respect that independence and are committed not only to supporting it, but to empowering it. So much of this industry has started to lean on data, but as an artist I still understand the power of raw belief. That’s where the magic is.”

“From his voice to his writing, Sam Drysdale stands out immediately,” says Ryan Cunningham, ONErpm’s Director of A&R. “There’s a clear vision behind what he’s building, and that came through from our first meeting. We’re excited to partner with Sam and bring that vision to a wider audience.”

Drysdale is slated to release more music this fall.
