Sammy's love for music began at a young age, as he would participtate in many music camps and activities, where he would sing. When he was in just third grade, he joined a band with some friends, and other young musicians, in which he served the role as the group's lead vocalist. They would play some of their favorite rock songs, including those of the Strokes, Led Zeppelin, and Cream. Soon, he would start to take guitar lessons, and eventually, play the guitar in his band. Beginning as a rhythm guitarist, Sammy further developed his skills over the years to also become a competent, and tasteful lead guitarist.

As Sammy continued to grow as a musician, he joined a second band. This new group, Karousel (still together today), allowed Sammy to expand his horizons, as the band played a wider variety of genres. With a strong emphasis on vocal harmonies, the band took on the songs of the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, the Black Keys, the Eagles, and more. The group has released numerous songs, including "What You Have Done", written by Sammy. Karousel also performs at many local venues, and events.
