While in Dive Bella Dive, he frequently experimented with songwriting using Game Boys—an influence evident in tracks like "I'm Naked," his collaborations with Betty, and his remix of the song "Animal." After Dive Bella Dive disbanded, he formed a new group with Russi Harley and Benjamin Everest; they received frequent airplay on BBC radio, gave interviews, and more. Following the breakup of that band as well, Melanie—Sam's friend—encouraged him to start a YouTube channel. Sam was creating many interesting things and thinking about how to grow an audience. Battle’s first video focused on music gear was published in 2016. He released his debut solo EP in 2018. In 2025, he released his own game. In 2026, he placed 25th at Eurovision.

Sam Battle (real name Sam James Bartle) is an English musician, musical instrument inventor, vlogger, and DIY electronics enthusiast. He is best known by the pseudonym "Look Mum No Computer."
ㅤSam was born in England (Grantham, Lincolnshire, is most frequently cited as his birthplace). He spent a significant portion of his childhood in the Peterborough area. Battle spent much of his youth indoors, experimenting with construction projects—such as rockets and robots—inspired by the TV show Robot Wars. From an early age, Battle showed a keen interest in mechanics, often dismantling toys, household appliances (like irons and toasters), and pedal cars to study their inner workings. As a child, he even repaired his mother's iron. He used a Windows 95 computer to program construction kits. Later, while in college, he began experimenting with computer-based music production, but a true stylistic breakthrough occurred when he discovered a broken Sega Master System console. He was struck by the "rawness" and sonic power of this simple hardware, a realization that shaped his future interest in hardware-based music. Before becoming deeply involved with synthesizers, Sam was a guitarist. His interest in circuit design began with an attempt to build his own guitar pedal, inspired by Brian May. Although his first DIY creation sounded "terrible" by his own admission, the process of building something with his own hands was a "magical" experience for him.
Around 2011, Battle enrolled at university to study chemistry but switched to a music technology course that same year. He dropped out of his studies midway through the course to join the London-based band Dive Bella Dive, where he spent three years. The band signed a record deal and recorded an album that was never released; during this time, Battle studied electronics and resumed building his own electronic musical instruments. Sam taught himself how to build the electronic instruments he plays.

As a person, he is positive and kind. An extrovert. He likes to create something of his own. He is a very curious, creative, slightly chaotic, but surprisingly persistent person. He likes experiments.
Sam was born in England (Grantham, Lincolnshire, is most often indicated). He spent a significant part of his childhood in the Peterborough area (where his band Dive Bella Dive appeared)
His grandparents were associated with the lighthouse museum, so little Sam often spent time among the old equipment and exhibits. It was there that he began to get interested in vintage technology. He began to disassemble toys and household appliances in order to study and reassemble.
He loves furby, is fond of synthesizers and mechanisms. After the breakup of his two groups, he started a solo project. Battle runs the This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete in Ramsgate, Kent, where his assembled vintage analog devices are displayed.
Full name is Sam James Bartle.
