Mike Ragogna: Since you’re a recording vet now with four albums under your belt, what advice do you have for new artists?

Sarah Sample: Hmm. Well, I think we live in a time and day, right now, where there are so many tools out there to help young artists and to help new artists make an album, make a show, build a website on their own, or a million things that really weren’t accessible maybe ten or fifteen years ago. So, I feel like, if you have an inclination to try being a songwriter or if you are a songwriter, there are a lot of things–social networking and such–that can help. I would just say to let it say something that is something sweet in your life. It is an art, and I think it should be valued and treated as such, so I would just say be true to that artist’s voice. Keep writing, keep playing, and always make your decisions from the standpoint of whether it’s bringing more joy into your life or not.
