Ito ang sinabi ni Sam nang hingan siya ng mensahe para kay Billy na maraming beses na niyang nakatrabaho.
“I know he’s gonna win it. I have no doubt, one hundred percent, he’s gonna win.
“I’ve learned so much from him, in and out of music.
"My first ever experience, in the process of creating, writing, and producing a song was with him,” sabi ni Sam.
Tulad ni Billy, bukas din si Sam sa posibilidad na sumali sa isang dance competition dahil isa ito sa mga hindi pa niya nasusubukang gawin.
“That’s one thing I haven’t done yet, mga dance competition. I’ve been in singing competitions, twice, acting. Pero dance, that would be an interesting challenge.”
Nagkaroon ng pagkakataon ang Cabinet Files na makausap si Sam sa renewal ng kanyang kontrata sa Viva Artists Agency noong Martes, October 25.
Para kay Sam, isang napakadaling desisyon ang muling pagpirma niya ng kontrata sa talent management arm ng Viva Entertainment dahil raw kuntento siya sa takbo ng kanyang career.
“It’s a very easy decision to make. You’re with a great team, very creative and talented people. Very proactive.
"And kung titingnan mo yung record, there’s no doubt na this is the right partnership."
Labing-anim na taon na ang nakararaan buhat nang mag-umpisa ang showbiz career ni Sam kaya tinanong namin siya tungkol sa mga itinuturing niyang malalaking tagumpay sa entertainment industry.
Saad ng singer-actor, “I think, it’s just making it this far, really. I mean, there were awards, big moments wherein you get to work with your heroes, with the best songwriters, your favorite actor.
"But the biggest privilege is to have a sustaining good career.
"I’ve always thought of it na I play the long game. I am not here na parang flash in the pan, get big, and that’s it.
"Yun ang pinaka-big goal for me, I haven’t stopped and I’m in a good place.
"Things are looking up and looking good so I’m super grateful and thankful."
