A Bit About Me
Sam Blasko is originally from Youngstown, Ohio. She moved to Nashville in 2019 to write country music, and she's been working with other songwriters and artists to put their stories into songs ever since. She brings a clever, conversational lyric and thoughtful storytelling to every room she’s in. At the end of the day, she believes it's all about the song, the story, and the way it makes you feel. With over 4 million streams as an independent songwriter and a song featured on FOX’s “Call Me Kat”, Sam is only just getting started in her career. She regularly plays shows in Nashville at The Bluebird Cafe & The Listening Room, and across the country in various cities with Sofar Sounds.
I learned what a songwriter was somewhere between 8-10 years old. Writing songs could be a job?! (Kind of, still working on that) It’s been Nashville or bust ever since.
Before I moved to Nashville, I was visiting with my family in 2017. I saw this poem/quote at the Country Music Hall of Fame and have pretty much thought about it every day since. & it’s still one of my favorites:
“People from all over the world
From all walks of life
Come to Nashville—Music City
Believing in music
The way children believe in magic
Most do not make it and go home
Others
Not accepting failure
Live under bridges
Where they laugh at people
Who do not believe
That rabbits live in hats”
