Sam started singing at 15 and then was an integral part in forming Hollywood Zoo which played some of the biggest venues in Toronto at the time. Mainstays on the scene, they performed several times at the El Mocambo and the Gasworks, including as openers for Steve Madden & Reckless and with Canadian Heavy metal act “Anvil” playing the first ever Metal Show at “The Diamond Club”.
Fast forward to forming his own band called SKROU – with the distinction of having opened for bands such as Helix, Honeymoon Suite, Buckcherry, Goddo, Teenage Head, Michael Schenker & Gypsy Rose.
