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.[4] The song is also featured in the video games Forza Horizon and The Sims 3: Island Paradise, 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.[5] 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 in the UK Official Singles Chart in its first week of release.[6]

"Bom Bom" was co-produced by music producer and film composer Raz Olsher, Horn and Ritchie at Fossil Studios in Hackney, London. The song was co-written by Horn, Ritchie, de Ligny and Olsher.[7]

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.

On 15 January 2018, the band's debut EP, Womp Records, Vol. 1 was released. On 1 May 2018, Sam and the Womp released the single "Posh Ragga", which features MC Solomon. This is the lead single from the band's second EP Bee Sides, which was released on 18 May 2018. "Ice Cream Man" was released later in the year.
