🔥 New album "Wonderland" OUT NOW 🔥
John Carter and Salomao Hamzem are two halves of the whole that is Hamzter. A British pop duo who tosses in a Latin flavor with a combination of English and Portuguese lyrics based on their acoustic charm.
The Hamzter band was formed in 2012 when John Carter and Salomao Hamzem met and discovered their shared love for music in London. They quickly realised that their musical styles and creative visions aligned, and they decided to join forces and create something special.
John has had many years experience in the music business as songwriter, record producer and has written dozens of hit songs and been in bands like: The Ivy League, Carter-Lewis and Southerners, Flowerpot Men, Kincade, The First Class and many others.
Salomao's musical journey began at a young age. He is a multi-talented musician, instrumentalist, and music producer known for his versatility and passion for music. Also had experience playing classical music in orchestras and gospel bands in Brazil, his native country.
Currently Salomao and John Carter are expanding their musical repertoire and exploring new creative avenues. This collaboration serves as a testament to their dedication and commitment to their craft, as they continues to strive for excellence in all aspects of music.
As writers, they wanted to try something a bit different so hit on the idea of writing songs together in English and Portuguese. When John and Sal were thinking about names for the band, they came up with the idea of combining the first part Salomao's surname of Hamzem and the last part of Carter making "HAMZTER". That's why the hamster has become their mascot.
