Samuel Archer grew up in Bethany Village, Mt. Pleasant, Tobago W.I. At the age of five, his father bought a piano. Samuel started fondling the keys, and it was then that his relationship with music and love for piano began. By the age of eight, he played the piano during church and song service at elementary school. Eventually, Samuel took part in choir, orchestra and steel pan. At the age of fourteen, he was playing in the local hotels and assisting some of the local bands with musical direction.
Today Samuel Archer lives in the U.S. and is a celebrated songwriter, arranger, music producer, recording engineer, filmmaker, and author. Samuel has taught music in Tobago and the U.S. He holds a Music Business Bachelors of Science Degree from Full Sail University. He has worked on recordings spanning from 1989 to present which includes a catalog of his independent musical works. Additionally, Samuel founded a Digital Marketing Company, Samsdigital.net, and an online entertainment and music publication, Muzilog.
Samuel recently completed his first book, "Hybrid Executive," [The new Terminology and Responsibilities of today's artists.] In the pages, Samuel expounds on how technology affected various roles in the music industry, what make these roles essential and how these roles interact with each other. Within his discussions of concepts and principles, Samuel also adds his personal experiences, which makes "Hybrid Executive," an exciting and informative read. Samuel considers "Hybrid Executive," a self-empowering manual for today's indie artists.
Samuel has worked with artists and groups such as B2K, Horace Brown, 112, Courtney Fadlin, His Voice, Lovener Walcott, Aquannette Chinnery, Delroy Souden, Miriam Corlette Williams and Nhojj to mention a few.
