About Sam
From Australia to San Diego's best rooms
Originally from Australia, Sam has sung his way through more than 30 countries, learning from teachers all over the world. He landed in San Diego in 2012 and has since played most of the city’s live music venues and most of its hotels, from Downtown and Mission Valley to La Jolla, Del Mar and Encinitas.
Today he focuses on corporate and private events, working alongside Southern California’s leading entertainment agencies and traveling to LA, Palm Springs, Las Vegas and beyond. The approach is simple: read the room, pick the right song, and let the music carry the evening without taking it over.
