Samuel Phillips is a NYC-based arts administrator, educator, live event/festival producer, and music producer. He grew up as an orchestral double bassist, and his high-quality classical music training and performance experience laid the foundation for his personal and professional standards.

Mentors Dr. Jean Montes and John Snyder taught him the significance of recognizing his limitless potential. They emphasized the importance of strategizing for the long term, setting clear goals and objectives, and maintaining a consistent commitment to excellence. Ultimately, they helped Samuel develop an accountability framework to ensure that all his efforts align with his life mission: to educate, empower, and entertain.
