Working as a professional guitar tutor has acquired him a broad knowledge of playing styles. His CV includes a dance album, scores created for film and TV besides engineering and recording projects for the band.

At just 17 Sam was fortunate enough to sign a major record deal with RCA (Sony/BMG). He was a keyboard player in the 90’s TV boy-band North & South and has extensive experience in the studio and on stage. North & South were a modern day equivalent of the 1960’s chart toppers “The Monkees” and formed a central role in the BBC children's TV comedy show No Sweat. The show followed the exploits of struggling boy band North & South consisting of Jimmy, Greg, Miles and Giles (played by Sam Chapman). However the band became so popular that they became a real life band who scored four top 40 hits within just 12 month including an impressive number 7 debut hit single "I'm A Man Not A Boy" in May 1997. The band also headlined the own UK tour and supported Mark Owen of ‘Take That’. Sam has now left his Top of The Pops and MTV days behind him in order to pursue a teaching career in music but still loves producing music and playing live.
