Born in England but moved to New Zealand at an early age, Sam started
playing the classical guitar at the age of 9 with formal musical
training. A great guitar player with plenty of feelings in both rhythm
and leads, complement his remarkable ability in writing extremely catchy
songs; a perfect combination! The combination of Sam & Herman, two
very different guitar players joining forces in DragonForce, is causing
quite a stir in the modern metal scene. Watch out for their hyperactive
performances, taking the live stage to another level.
