These days Sam Smith is one of the cool kids in the music industry - with a Critics Choice BRIT Award under his belt and all sorts of famous types raving about how he's the 'next big thing'.
HOWEVER, it turns out that wasn't always the case - as a hilarious music video starring a pre-fame Sam that surfaced online this week shows.
Called 'Bad Day All Week', the vid sees Christopher Maloney off of the X Factor Sam walking around a suburban town in a school uniform.
We're not quite sure which bit is our favourite - the fact that he keeps bumping into every single person he walks past, or the terrible, TERRIBLE acting skills of the extras. Have a look and see what you think...
Not exactly 'Money On My Mind', is it? LOLZ.
