Sam is 17. music is a very important part of his life and helps inspire him to do well in life.

Sam regularly goes to gigs and festivals which feature rap and hip/hop artists as he likes that genre of music. Although Sam loves hip hop, his real love is for rap. He enjoys rappers such as Eminem and Jay – Z but also loves the old school rap vibe.

Sam is at college and is from a working class family. This means he is looking for things to buy which are not that expensive. However this influences him to be successful like the rappers he listens to. The friends he hangs around with also have similar music tastes and are from similar backgrounds. Sam often goes with them to gigs and festivals.

Although Sam does not have a lot of money, the money that he does get he spends on music. He usually downloads his favourite tracks from iTunes but also likes to buy the CD’s of his favourite rappers. He also likes to read about the lives of the rappers he listens to, as he is aspiring to be as successful as they are.
