Hey! My name is Sam (he/him) and I play bass for Her Majesty. My upbringing through music was strongly influenced by my dad (who has been in bands his whole life) who introduced me to a lot of 80's hair metal bands, some metal bands, and some classic blues rock when I was much younger and really shaped the types of music I enjoy today.

I started off on drums at the age of 10 when I got my first drum set for Christmas. I didn't know it then, but that really kicked off my love for music. Over the years, I never branched out of the drums until I was asked to join Her Majesty as the bass player. I spent the next couple years (still am) learning how to play bass and dedicating myself to my bandmates.

Currently, I find enjoyment in music production and other challenging and often unseen elements that make up groups like Her Majesty. I did all the recording, mixing, and mastering for our most recent release, and am tirelessly working towards finishing up the rest of a super-secret project, set to release in 2026. In my off time, I take care of my two planted aquariums, my vast amounts of plants that call my house home, and I teach drums.
