He stated, &#8220;My creative process involves a plethora of things. Sometimes when I hear a beat I record a float track over it. It&#8217;s basically me flowing without rapping or singing any words. Sometimes I&#8217;ll sing a melody and record the chorus first. Usually it starts with me catching inspiration from the music itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stay Focused\" width=\"1110\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/47IB8P3Timw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Face That\" width=\"1110\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zBw4rCWvysQ?list=OLAK5uy_kNGg-TvfeYK-23-A0mvee7vPKzeI-4inc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With songs like &#8220;Face That,&#8221; &#8220;Stay Focused,&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1eov260XeIE&amp;list=PLPF0e1o4O6AmoUyuOCZtsli0XCdnHf1py\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Aspie Power<\/a>,&#8221; Sam the Sentient displays his unique style in the vocal arrangements, lyrics, and beats of each song.

Over the years he&#8217;s been a part of the arts ambassador program, MC School. His mentor, Phenom, is the CEO of the organization and he&#8217;s played a major role in helping Sam develop his performance skills as an MC. Sam is grateful to have Phenom as his mentor.

It sets the foundation of the goals he strive to accomplish each day. Sam is a strong believer in the phrase, &#8220;Proper preparation prevents poor performance.&#8221; This is the reason he spends so much time practicing and honing his musical skills.

What I want to do as an independent artist, and as someone who puts himself out who&#8217;s vocal and in touch with who he is and the art form, is to show people that autistic people are capable of being social and doing great things&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music has been therapeutic for Sam the Sentient throughout his life. He uses music as a source of inspiration as well as an outlet to release frustration when he encounters issues. He admits, like many recording artist, he sometimes feels discouraged and thoughts come to mind that no one is hearing his music, but his parents have been there from day one encouraging and guiding him along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam the Sentient is on path to have an exceptional career in the music industry. Each time he takes the stage he follows the words that his mentor Phenom once told him, &#8220;When MC&#8217;s go onstage it&#8217;s not necessarily for the onlookers, it&#8217;s about the connection with the craft and your connection to God.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div
