Sam Heda
Although young in years 13 year old Sam has a sound that reaches far beyond his age. Dave Navarro and Johnny A. think so. Dave Navarro has been quoted to say that Sam is "among the next level of inspirational guitarists." Johnny A. has said that he hears a similarity to Carlos Santana and Joe Satriani.
Sam also likes using his gift of song writing and playing guitar for good causes. In the summer of 2008 he was asked to play a benefit for a friend fighting cancer. The event was held at the famed "Double Door" in Charlotte, N.C. Sam had the honor not only of raising money for a good cause but stood on the very stage that has had many famous musicians including Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton and Derek Trucks, just to mention a few. We are very pleased and excited to have Sam as part of the YAF organization. I have been watching his growth over the past year and it has been awesome. Please stop by often to see the progress of Sam and all of the young artists.
