Hi, my name is Sam! I grew in Mansfield, Texas. I have loved to sing my whole. entire. life. However, my formal training in music did not begin until freshman year of high school. Fun fact, I actually attended voice lessons here with Sarah Darby (owner of Destiny)!
I went on to major in Music Education at Dallas Baptist University. I am so glad I did. My experience at DBU changed the trajectory of my whole life, and I am incredibly grateful that God led me to that University.
