Sam was born in Munnar, Kerala. He lives in Cumbum, Theni, Tamil Nadu. He attended St. Aloysius Higher Secondary School in Royappan Patti, Theni. He later earned a degree in MCA and MBA from St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli. He worked for a software company after his graduation.
Career
Sam assisted other music composers on scores for movies.[5] His talent was soon discovered by movie houses, which led to an opportunity to compose music for musical thriller Mellisai, later renamed Puriyatha Puthir.[6][7]
During this time, he composed jingles, which led him to meet the director duo Pushkar-Gayathri, who offered him the opportunity to score Vikram Vedha. The film's album and original soundtracks went on to become chart toppers.[8]
Sam got his next opportunity in 2018 when director V. A. Shrikumar Menon offered him Mohanlal-starrer Odiyan to score.
