While much in Sami’s life has evolved, one thing that has never changed is that he belongs to the world of music. At the age of 14 Sami heard Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and immediately started pleading with his mom to buy him his first electric guitar. Chris Cornell, Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots and The Smashing Pumpkins continue to be some of Sami’s greatest influences.
As a songwriter, Sami finds inspiration in many different ways; occasionally his songs even come to him in his dreams. His versatility as a musician can be seen in the two different styles of touring he is currently engaged with. In his solo acoustic performances, Sami is a master at connecting with his audience taking them on a soulful journey through love and tragedy, always leaving them with a ray of hope. In contrast, his high-energy performances with his melodic rock band, Blue Helix, have the audience on their feet, moving with the pulse of the music. His ability to connect with his audience, whether acoustic or rock, is truly magical.
Sami demonstrates his prolific songwriting prowess and his ability to find hope in the midst of struggle on his debut solo album, Extraordinary World, which is set to release in late 2019. Sami is currently on tour traveling to many parts of the world playing material from his upcomig release. The songs on his new record were written from places all over the world, from Paris to Siem Riep, Sami continues to spread his music to people all over the globe.
Sami has recently performed in the US, Brazil, Cambodia, Armenia and the Philippines

Enquanto muito da vida do Sami evoluiu, uma coisa que nunca mudou é que ele pertence ao mundo da musica. Aos 14 anos, Sami ouviu “Smells Like Teen Spirit” do Nirvana e imediatamente começou a implorar a sua mãe para comprá-lo sua primeira guitarra elétrica. Chris Cornell, Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots e The Smashing Pumpkins continuam a ser algumas das maiores influências de Sami.
Como compositor, Sami encontra inspiração de muitas maneiras diferentes; ocasionalmente suas músicas fazem parte de seus sonhos. Sua versatilidade como músico pode ser vista nos dois estilos diferentes de projetos com os quais ele está atualmente envolvido. Em suas performances solo acústicas, Sami é um mestre em se conectar com seu público levando-os em uma jornada comovente através do amor e da tragédia, sempre deixando-os com esperança. Em contraste, suas performances de alta energia com sua banda de rock melódico, Blue Helix, Sami tem o público aos seus pés, movendo-se com o pulso da música. Sua capacidade de se conectar com seu público, seja através do projeto acústico ou rock, é verdadeiramente contagiante.
Em seu primeiro álbum solo, Extraordinary World, que será lançado no final de 2019, Sami demonstra sua proeza de composição e sua capacidade de encontrar esperança no meio da adversidade. Sami está atualmente em turnê pelo Brasil, apresentando performances acústicas e de rock. Planos estão em andamento para uma turnê solo acústica nos Estados Unidos, a partir de setembro de 2019.
Sami se apresentou nos EUA, Brasil, Cambodia, Armênia e Filipinas
