Sam Pounds is a producer known for his collaborations with prominent figures in the entertainment industry, including Jaime Foxx and Wiz Khalifa.

He has taken on the role of releasing the first posthumous single from his late friend and collaborator, Liam Payne, titled *Do No Wrong*, following Liam’s tragic passing on October 16, 2024.

Early Music Journey

Sam’s passion for music began in childhood, influenced by the songs he heard in church. Before attending Barton College in North Carolina, he joined a Gospel choir as a teenager, where he showcased his skills on both drums and keyboard.

After completing his studies, he relocated to Los Angeles to dedicate himself to music full-time. He arrived in the city in 2019 and took the stage at the Black Rabbit Rose Magic Theatre. His performances at Drake’s club, Delilah, caught the attention of several major Hollywood stars, including Madonna and Wiz Khalifa.

In addition, Sam collaborated with Jamie Foxx on the film Back In Action, during which the movie star facilitated an introduction for him with executives at Virgin Music.

Sam released his debut album, Don’t Forget Where You Came From, in 2023, which helped him reach a new audience.

Sam Pounds on Liam’s Untimely Passing

Liam Payne gained fame as a member of One Direction after participating in X Factor, with the group achieving chart-topping success with hits like Night Changes, What Makes You Beautiful, and Best Song Ever. Tragically, Liam passed away on October 16, 2024, after a fall from a balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Following the news of his death, Liam’s former bandmates shared heartfelt tributes on their social media accounts. Sam also expressed his sorrow, remembering Liam as a joyful, humorous, and talented individual who was a brother, father, and friend. Although they shared a close friendship, they had kept it largely private.

A Song for Healing

Sam and Liam had collaborated on a track titled Do No Wrong shortly before the singer’s untimely death. This new song is set to be released on November 1, 2024, and Sam has indicated that a live mix and an a cappella version will also be made available.

He expressed his hope that the song would “eclipse the negative echoes” surrounding Liam’s passing and provide comfort to listeners. On Instagram, he shared his wishes that the song would be a blessing to the world, just as Liam had always envisioned. He also expressed a desire for angels to provide comfort to everyone as they listen and that the song would be a source of solace for Ruth, Bear, and the entire family.
