“I’m Sam. I’ve loved singing from a young age – I could sing before I could talk! I always sang in choirs or musicals, and I left school to pursue musical theatre at university. This is where I stumbled into opera – I found I took to it much more than MT, and was encourage to train and take it further. And here we are! I now also teach students of all ages to discover their full singing potential.

I am based in Wiltshire with my wife and my two children. When I’m not singing opera, I am part of a modern metal band, and we’re writing and recording music that is as far removed from opera as you can get!”
