Sam Opoku's journey to musical stardom is as captivating as his soulful melodies. Born in Ghana and later immigrating to the United States with his family, Sam's story is one of perseverance and passion. His family's relocation to the U.S. was a result of his mother winning the visa lottery—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that they couldn't pass up.

He went on to sell out his first headline show at Valley Bar in Downtown Phoenix and performed at the Phoenix Suns' halftime show just one week later.
One of Sam's most notable accomplishments was his participation in a writing camp hosted by Grammy award-winning producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, known for his work with Beyonce and Michael Jackson. Sam also collaborated with influential figures in the music industry, including Northboi the Oracle and Yonni, and ventured into the EDM world through a partnership with Armada Music, founded by Armin Van Buuren.
