Hi, I’m Sam aka MetalRenard (“Renard” is “fox” in French), a musician, composer and producer in my mid 20's. Completely self-trained, everything I've learnt has been through trial and error, research and dedication to my goal of doing the best I can in making meaningful music that tells a story or has a strong emotional message. My inspiration comes from many sources, often just my need to create music is enough to fuel it. In these cases I don't even think about what I'm doing, composing is a very organic process for me. Other times I get inspired by a book I've read (I'm an avid reader) or a film I've watched and I try to capture a feeling it gave me.
