“I’ve worked with Sam on several music projects, and he’s been fantastic to collaborate with. He’s a talented multi-instrumentalist with an impressive ability to work in a wide range of musical styles, making him incredibly versatile. Among the things I truly appreciate about his work is how well he incorporates intricate harmonies and transitions—it adds a level of depth and polish that really stands out. He also finds ways to include the use of really cool, sometimes complex musical concepts in an effortless sounding, natural way. Beyond his musical skills, Sam’s production abilities are excellent, and he’s great at taking feedback and turning it into thoughtful revisions. He’s reliable, easy to work with, and always delivers high-quality results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and adaptable musician.”
