Sam MacPherson is an EXTREMELY talented singer/songwriter from New Jersey and is most definitely worth checking out! Below are some questions we were fortunate enough to ask him! -
1. At what age did you realize that music was your passion?
“I’ve always loved music as a consumer, but it wasn’t until college that I really felt passionate about being someone who writes music.”
2. When did you really start pursuing music with laser focus?
“Right after college I spent a year in New York City learning how to write songs for myself and for other people as well.”
3. What advice do you have for someone who is beginning to pursue making music?
“I think if you’re just starting out it’s important to have fun. Working in music is really hard and if you don’t genuinely love what you are doing and creating it’s easy to feel burnt out.”
4. What is your favorite song that you’ve made?
“The one nobody has heard yet.”
5. If you had to pick 1… who has been your favorite person to work with?
“That’s a tough question to answer because I've worked with so many incredible people recently, but I love writing with my friend Rosie who is an incredible artist and songwriter.”
6. Who do you see yourself collaborating with next?
“I have a lot of fun collaborations lined up for the new year that I don’t want to give away yet. I’ve been very lucky to work with such talented people.”
7. If you could thank 2 people right now - who would it be and why?
“My mom and dad. They have been nothing but supportive since the beginning of my career and also the beginning of my life. I owe a lot to them in terms of where I am and who I am as a person.”
8. What artist did you listen to most growing up?
“I probably listened to the Beatles the most. My dad is a huge fan and my brother and I as well.”
