My name is Samuel Tolley. I grew up in Rochester, NH.
I always loved music but I was a late bloomer in terms of being a performer. In middle school I did my first musical, Bye Bye Birdie. From then on I've been obsessed with music!
I attended Plymouth State University where I double majored in Music Education and Musical Theatre.
After I graduated I moved to Richmond, VA where I was an actor with a touring children's theater for two years.
Then I moved to Incheon, South Korea where I taught music to high schoolers at an international school called the Cheongna Dalton School. I was there for seven wonderful years.
After moving back to New Hampshire I taught music at my old alma mater Spaulding High school for a year.
I love all things to do with music, theatre, and performance. I also love the outdoors and spending time with my dog, Winnie.
Winnie is my dog. She's a Xoloitzcuintli. It's okay you've never heard of her breed before. She's the same breed as the dog named Dante from the Disney movie Coco.
I did my student teaching at Campton Elementary School under the supervision of AJ Coppola and at West Running Brook Middle School under the supervision of Blake Leister back in 2013.
Composition and song writing are close to my heart. I also perform with various choirs. I have a huge passion for musical theatre.
I was on a Korea singing program called 'I Can See Your Voice.' Click the link HERE to check it out.
