'''Thomas Sampson''', better known as '''TS7''', is a British DJ, record producer, remixer and songwriter.
==Early life==
Thomas Sampson was born and raised in [[Bradford]], England. He was introduced to DJing and [[UK garage|garage]] music at an early age and began to play in local nightclubs within the garage and bassline club scene.
It was from a young age that he realised had a huge interest in music. From the age of just 5, his parents encouraged him to have piano lessons. He went on to achieve grade 5 by the time he was 13. Producing started at the young age of 14, when he managed to get hold of the software ‘Fruityloops’ (now known as FL Studio).
Alongside production, he has toured and played shows across the world including Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Ibiza, Turkey and Czech Republic. He’s also played festivals including Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Parklife and Creamfields.
==Music career==
In 2007 TS7 signed to Agent X’s UK Garage label, Heatseeker Recordings. His releases on Heatseeker included Smile which provided him with his first breakthrough and led to an official remix of  [[Estelle (musician)|Estelle]]'s number 1 single "[[American Boy]]"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://soundcloud.com/basslineblog/estelle-ft-kanye-west-american |title=Estelle ft Kanye West - American Boy (TS7 Remix) by BasslineBlog on SoundCloud - Hear the world's sounds |website=soundcloud.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140922031732/http://soundcloud.com/basslineblog/estelle-ft-kanye-west-american |archive-date=22 September 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> for Warner Records.
