SAMSMH is a Philadelphia-based musician, producer, and visual artist whose passion for music began in early childhood in the church choir, where he played drums. He started producing music soon after to complement his art, first focusing on video game music, which shaped what he listened to. Seeing others around him consistently perform and record eventually pushed him to make the shift from producer to artist in 2022. Since then, Sam has released several projects on Spotify and YouTube.

His latest work, Decennia, is a spiritual project that reflects on the passage of time. The title is the plural of decennium, another word for decade, and the song titles carry that idea forward. With titles including “99,” “09,” and “19,” each is exactly ten years from the next. The three-song EP explores concepts like memories, staying present, and taking stock of the moment, with time’s constant movement remaining an underlying theme throughout.
