Sam Zodiac



Sam Oscar Zodiac (born 14th of April 1989) is a Britcani contestant on the thrird season of NS X Factor. His primary music genre is Power Metal although he has also performed in other genres.

Early Life
Sam was born in Bridgeport, the musical heartland of Britcan, to his single mother Joanna. He did not excel in school with his grades usally just below average. He first discovered his musical ability at the age of eight when he began taking piano lessons at his school, quickly learning it. However, he gave up the piano at eleven to learn the guitar, which he enjoyed much more. He later said that "To start with it was because I wanted to seem cool. I didn't really enjoy playing it until I'd played it for a few months.". By the age of sixteen he had mastered both the guitar and the bass forming the rock band Scarlet Dimension with a few school friends, in which he performed lead guitar and backing vocals. They released a self produced EP on a shoestring budget that sold enough for them to make a healthy profit. However, the band broke up when Sam was nineteen due to members of the band not wishing to put the band before university and the other members not wanting to replace them. Sam, however, was determined to make it in the music world so focused on developing his singing and, primarily encouraged by his ex-bandmates, entered the NS X Factor.

X Factor
Sam's different musical style received a mixed review from the judges in the auditions. Some of them felt his style was not mainstream enough to succeed in the competition while others simply didn't like his style. However, he received a very good review from Samira, who said that he "could be excellent and top the charts all over the world."

Hannah was selected to be the mentor of Sam and the other boys. He was initially skeptical of how much help she would be to him. He viewed her as just another mainstream pop singer who had little to offer him. He would have preferred to have Samira mentoring him as she had shown much more enthusiasm at his audition. However, Sam soon came to value the fact that she had already gone through the process he was in and was able to advise him on a variety of things.
