Sam is a composer, producer and musician. Originally from North Wales, he studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama between 2010-14 and has been based in South Wales since. He writes and produces in tandem; and while his songs explore dream-like narratives and nuances of the human condition, his compositions blur the lines between chamber minimalism, electronic music and experimental abstract sound.

He has composed music for television (Tree On A Hill / Pren Ar Y Bryn [2023], The Light In The Hall / Y Golau [2023], Hidden / Craith [2018-22], Bregus [2021], Hinterland / Y Gwyll [2016]), film (Grav [2021], The Arborist [2020], Steel Country [2018]), theatre (Storm.1: Nothing Remains The Same [National Theatre Wales], Iliad [National Theatre Wales], The Snow Queen [Storyhouse], Tide Whisperer [National Theatre Wales], The In-Between [Theatr Clwyd / Sherman Theatre], Tide Whisperer [National Theatre Wales], and installation (Love Bugs [Chapter Arts Centre], Dyfodiaith [Chapter Arts Centre]).

Sam is a frequent collaborator with composition collective John Hardy Music. Founded by John Hardy and including composers Tic Ashfield and Benjamin Talbott, they have together created original soundtracks for critically acclaimed television series.

Sam is also a member of bands Boy Azooga and Part Time Signals, and as a musician he's performed under many other outfits and guises.
