Sammy Plotkin finds strength in vulnerability and utilizes what he’s been too afraid to say out loud as a superpower through his lyrics. When what needs to be said isn’t flattering, Sammy turns it into poetry and pairs it with catchy melodies, creating a positive, empowering song. Sammy credits a piece of his ability to be as honest as he is to coming out in a repressed Southern community. From this he learned that the consequences from running from your truth is way greater than speaking it. Since he was 14, Sammy has been traveling to Nashville from his hometown in Somers, Connecticut, to record music and create what he was destined to do. While acquiring his BA in Songwriting at Belmont University, he interned in Los Angeles at Disney Music Group and Prescription Songs, which informed his move upon graduation. Since then, Sammy has received accolades such as a publishing deal with Defend Music, 2019 USA Songwriting Competition #1 R&B Song of the Year, 2016 International Songwriting Competition #1 Adult Contemporary Song of the Year, 2012 ASCAP Scholarship for a song co-written with Meghan Trainor, and many more. Beyond his work as an artist, Sammy has cuts as a songwriter with artists including BTS, Phem, American Idol runner up Dalton Rapattoni, and more.
