Sam Hines began contributing content to Showbiz Cheat Sheet in 2019. Sam has been passionate about pop culture for as long as he can remember.
One of his earliest memories in life is watching the special edition VHS tapes of the original Star Wars trilogy when he was 5 years old. The storytelling, visual design, and soundtrack played a formative role in the types of entertainment he’s interested in.

As he’s gotten older, Sam has become more interested in the process and context behind significant artists that helps explain their work, personalities, and why they’re so important to certain communities.
