Year 8 and 9 take part in mental health workshops with up and coming star

On Thursday, Year 8 and 9 were visited by Sammy who came to speak to them about mental health and also treat them to a live performance of some of his music.  The theme was around “Mental Health, Healthy Relationships & Peer Pressure”.

Sammy Angelo is a 24-year-old up-and-coming artist from St Albans. Infatuated with music from a youthful age, he picked up the guitar at the age of 15. Following various tutorials on YouTube, the self-taught instrumentalist was determined to broaden his skills in the hopes of producing his own songs in the future. Enrolling on a creative musicianship course before developing his engineering skills as a producer the following year at University, the newcomer was able to develop performing techniques as well as his confidence in a room full of people. Sharing his debut single “Love Me No More” featuring former JLS member Oritsé Williams, Sammy Angelo then went on to collaborate with musicians such as Geko, Ayo Beatz, S1mba and A7s.

Sammy developed alopecia as a teenager, an experience that deeply affected his body image and mental health. What could have remained a lifelong struggle, however, became a turning point. Through resilience and self-acceptance, he transformed his journey into one of strength and positivity. Today, Sammy shares an uplifting story of facing adversity head-on and coming out the other side with confidence, optimism, and a desire to inspire others. Year 8 and 9 were fantastic and all queued for autographs at the end! Thank you to Miss French for organising this event.
