Dream's 2022 mega hit "Glitch Mode", but also Sam SZND's reaction when the music video for the biggest placement of her career gained one million views in its first 24 minutes on YouTube.
Earlier this year, the songwriter was tapped by Korea's top pop label SM Entertainment to pen the title track to NCT Dream's second studio album. After debuting at number one on iTunes in over 28 countries, trending third on Twitter, and topping "Butter" for the top spot on Billboard's Hot Trending Songs, the track has gone on to move over three million physical album sales.
Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Sam brings an unmistakable flavor to every record she approaches. Beginning her career at age 12, she recorded her first original songs in a tiny studio on the bayous just outside her hometown. And in the years since, she's written countless syncs for television, created her own recording studio, and built a following as one of LA’s emerging young Blues artists. Just now hitting her peak, Sam is one of those rare songwriters that feels at home in any room, and consequently, makes anyone in the room feel at home around her. Because like any great dish, she’s taken her time. Barely into her 30’s, she’s already cultivated a twenty year long span in the business. And finally, the music industry is about to get a taste of what she’s been cookin’.
