About Me
Hi, I'm Sam. Welcome to my website! I am a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer/arranger/songwriter based in Salt Lake City, UT. I love to perform and write music of all genres, particularly jazz, classical, pop, and theater.
​
I have had the opportunity in my University training to sing on stage in several leading roles in both Opera and Musical Theatre productions ranging from La Traviata, Lucia Di Lammermoor, Die Zauberflöte, Next to Normal, and more. I love to perform and have a very authentic, organic acting style.
​
In addition to singing, I love to play piano (Lego and real), drum set, guitars, and trombone. I encourage my students to learn as many instruments as they can!
