Sam and the Womp are a British[2] pop group consisting of trumpeter Sam Ritchie and Dutch-born vocalist Bloem de Ligny, also known as Lady Oo. The band's music mixes traditional elements of Balkan music with modern dub and drum 'n' bass elements.[2] From its formation in 2009 to 2014, the band also included producer Aaron "Audio" Horn, the son of musician and producer Trevor Horn.

The group's debut single "Bom Bom" was released as a digital download on 19 August 2012, and hit number one on the UK Singles Chart.[3][4] It has sold over a million copies worldwide. In 2012, they signed to Stiff Records and One More Tune.

WOMP Records are trying to create a Vol 2 as well as a Double CD package Featuring Sam.

Music career

2009–2013: Formation and "Bom Bom"

Sam and the Womp was formed in September 2009 when Ritchie and de Ligny's band QDOS joined forces with Horn.

Initially signed to Stiff Records, Sam and the Womp released "Bom Bom" under a licensing deal with One More Tune on 20 August 2012. The track gained further momentum after being used to soundtrack an international TV advertising campaign for Southern Comfort. Les Mills uses it for their biceps workout track in Body Pump.[5] The song is also included in the video games Forza Horizon and The Sims 3: Island Paradise, and was featured on the Channel 4 TV show Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and in an episode of the CBS TV program Elementary. Kmart Australia also featured the song in their 2013 series of TV commercials.[6] The song has also been used in a series of Canadian TV commercials for the Joe Fresh line of clothing. The track went to number one on the UK Singles Chart in its first week of release.[7]

"Bom Bom" was produced by Horn, Ritchie and music producer and film composer Raz Olsher, at Fossil Studios in Hackney, London. The song was written by Horn, Ritchie, de Ligny and Olsher.[8]

2014–present

Horn left the group in 2014, and Ritchie and de Ligny continued as a duo.

Ritchie and de Ligny co-founded Womp Records Ltd. in 2015.

El 15 de enero de 2018, la banda lanzó su EP debut, Womp Records, Vol. 1. El 1 de mayo de 2018, Sam and the Womp lanzaron el sencillo "Posh Ragga", que cuenta con la participación de MC Solomon. Este fue el primer sencillo del segundo EP de la banda, Bee Sides , lanzado el 18 de mayo de 2018. "Ice Cream Man" se lanzó más adelante ese mismo año.
