Sampha Sisay was born in South London to immigrants from Sierra Leone. He is the youngest of five brothers.
He gravitated to music early, starting to play the piano at the age of 3. The piano was purchased from an elderly neighbor by his father and was intended to provide an alternative to television. Sampha pays tribute to the musical instrument on the Process track "(No One Knows Me) Like The Piano."
Early inspirations were his father's eclectic record collection and his PE teacher who also happened to teach music.
