As one of Music City’s favorite personalities and journalists on the country music circuit, Sam’s rapport with artists is second to none and gives her the uncanny ability to cut to the heart of every story. Though she began her career at CMT in their syndicated radio network, Sam also put her English and Creative Writing background to use as part of CMT.com’s editorial team.

From 2015 through 2019, she conducted hundreds of interviews with country biggest and brightest artists and authored thousands of articles and editorial pieces for the network.

She also anchored CMT’s Listen Up web series, a monthly installment that featured interviews and performances from country music’s most intriguing and promising new artists.

Sam also represented CMT.com on camera and in print for major award shows, and was featured in a 2014 campaign with Dove to celebrate beauty ahead of the CMT Music Awards.
