Born to a stand-up comedian and an
actress, Knoxville-raised Sam
Hatmaker
assumed from a very young age that
everyone was just
supposed to be on
stage, so she decided she would become a
singer. At 10
years old, her path became
even more clear when she began
performing
in shows at Dollywood (even
though by then she had figured out that
not
everyone had to be on stage). She
moved to Nashville after signing her
first
publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music at the age of 16. In
2019 Sam
recorded her debut EP with Grammy
award-winning
producer Nathan
Chapman.
