Sam Vaughn

After graduating from San Francisco State University with a BM in music composition, I've moved to the Midwest and am now based in Chicago. Currently, I'm working on a hard-rock album entitled "All You Try to Name." The songs feature themes of loss, acceptance (or lack thereof), and material that dives into a chaos that could only follow after a perfect calm. I'm also in the beginning stages of writing "Call Your Parents," a noisy, pissed off, upbeat EP that will release later in 2025.

Growing up, I casually played guitar and piano, but almost instantly became fixated with music production at 16 years old. Over the years of my education, I had gotten my hands in just about every subject I could. Most of all though, I wanted an outlet for my emotions-- and now I can't live without it. From screaming on a mic with a wall of guitars, to composing an orchestral piece for lovely short film-- I am always seeking new opportunities to learn.
