Inspired by his sister who played the piano, he taught himself to play guitar, bass, piano, and drums. Sam was born a natural singer without any formal vocal coaching. His father, also a singer, is a big influence.
Sam draws his influences from such greats as Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Eric Clapton, and Gavin DeGraw. He enjoys performing anything acoustic that has soul and is fond of rock, pop, soul, blues, jazz, and country music.

A few songs are to be released on Jeff’s new solo CD. This is what Jeff had to say about Sam: “Bro, you are the freshest new artist out there. I will be telling the world about you and if there is anything I can do to help you along, rest assured I will. People need to hear Sam Grow. You will be a superstar my friend!”
Sam has also performed with Grammy award winner Kanye West, Kat Parsons, one of the highest selling independent artists in the US, and national touring artist singer/songwriter/pianist Dave Yaden (Marc Broussard, Josh Kelley, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson).
Sam’s latest release “Ignition” is an infusion of Rock, Pop, and Soul that creates an enticing, new listening experience sure to satisfy the ear of a wide range audience. The first cut, “Oh So Jaded”, has become a crowd favorite. “Work in Progress”, Sam’s first CD release, is a five song EP full of Sam’s soulful, bluesy sound. The single “Meant to Be” was the featured track of the day on September 28, 2006 on GarageBand.com and the song peaked at 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Broadway 2am ran into one of your friends outside of the stage tonight
Late at night on Broadway, I coincidentally encountered one of your friends near the theater
Small talk how ya do's but couldn't wait to mention you then she said you're doing fine
Engaging in casual conversation, but I couldn't help but bring up the topic of you, and she mentioned that you're doing well
She said you're seeing someone new I tried to play it cool but the truth is it got me down
She informed me that you're in a new relationship, and though I pretended to be unaffected, deep down it really saddened me
I smiled said goodbye told your friend a lie said I'm happy that you're happy now
With a forced smile, I bid farewell to your friend while deceivingly stating that I am glad you have found happiness
But I'm still drinkin about you
However, I continue to consume alcohol as a means to cope and think about you
To numb that feeling of me without you
In an attempt to numb the pain of being without you and feeling empty inside
Anything to get you off my mind
I will do anything to distract myself from constantly thinking about you
Might not work but I gotta try
Although it may not be effective, I feel obligated to at least give it a try
So I'll be drinkin about you
Therefore, I will continue to drink and reminisce about you
You're right my fault I can be an ass hole stubborn as a rusty nail
I acknowledge that you were right, and I can be difficult to deal with and unyielding like a rusted nail
It was me wasn't you but I'm here paying my dues it don't come with posted bail
The fault lies with me, not you, and now I am facing the consequences without the ability to escape easily
Sitting here alone starring at my phone wondering if you'd hear me out
Here I am, sitting in solitude, endlessly gazing at my phone, contemplating if you would be willing to listen to me
But a sorry can't undo the damage that I did to you so I'll let you be happy now
However, a mere apology cannot erase the harm I caused you, so I will allow you to find happiness without me
And I'll be drinkin about you
Therefore, I will continue to turn to alcohol as I reminisce and think about you
To numb that feeling of me without you
In order to dull the sensation of emptiness that comes with my life without you
Anything to get you off my mind
I will do whatever it takes to remove you from occupying my thoughts constantly
Might not work but I gotta try
Even though it may not succeed, I feel compelled to make the effort
So I'll be drinkin about you
Hence, I will continue drinking and reminiscing about you
