RBS 9.0 | Sam Nera

Sam Nera is a Belgian singer-songwriter based in Amsterdam, blending neo-soul, electronic, and experimental influences into a rich layering of sound and dreamy harmonies. With a background in jazz studies and a clear, pure voice, her music is both deeply personal and emotionally resonant. Raised in a musical home by two mothers, Sam’s journey in music has been shaped by personal loss, which she channels into her art. Adopting the stage name Nera—an anagram of her late mother’s name, Renaat—Sam
keeps her mother’s spirit close as she explores themes of grief, healing, and transformation. Her debut EP, Rebirth, marks the start of an exciting musical journey, combining themes of space, renewal, and resilience.
