Sami Lin has been featured in Nashville Voyager's "Daily Inspiration" segment and been the opening artist at Backstage Nashville. She discovered her passion for music in the sixth grade and began writing and recording her own music at thirteen years old. Sami Lin’s music and style have been influenced by pop, classic rock, country, and Christian worship music as well as hard work, broken straps and electrocution from a faulty amplifier. Sami Lin's songwriting and vocal style has been compared to Taylor Swift and her setlist includes classic covers as well as original music.

    Sami Lin's music uses catchy hooks, such as "April fooled me" and "Casket or a Throne, A Soldier Comes Home", that grab the listener's ear and keep them humming along after the song is over. When crafting a new song Sami Lin strives to not just write lyrics but to elicit a variety of emotions from the listener. "It motivates me as a songwriter when someone walks up to me after a performance and tells me they felt as if I had written that song about them". Sami Lin's music employs the vintage sounds of the upright bass, cello, violin, ukulele,  and the hypnotic melody of the cajon.  These traditional sounds blended with tones produced by modern instruments give her music a cool vibe.

     Sami Lin's recently released single “Something Bout Whiskey “ was produced by Master Producer Dave Demay at Song City Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Other recent releases "Can You Hear Me" and "A Soldier Comes Home" are Sami’s first self-produced songs. Sami Lin's music is available on iTunes, Spotify, and other digital providers.

     Sami Lin is a frequent performer with Nashville Tour Stop and other songwriter venues in "Music City". Whether performing original songs or contemporary covers in large or small venues, on Nashville songwriter stages or in the Chicago area, Sami's sweet, powerful voice accompanied by her 6 or 12 string guitars engages her audience and doesn't let them go.  When the performance starts the connection begins, the love for her fans flows and the magic happens.  Sami says "I love my fans for loving me".
