Samuel Arthur Pierce, aka Sam Purpose (formally known as Sam P.), is a rap artist and music producer from North Carolina. Sam describes the type of hip hop music he creates as "Hip hop with a solution to the struggle". For him, he has known that solution to be Jesus Christ. Inspired by artist such as Bizzle, Lecrae, Trip Lee, Social Club Misfits, DA T.R.U.T.H., KB, Andy Mineo as well as legendary mainstream artists like Nas, Mobb Deep, The Lox, The Notorious B.I.G., and Wu Tang Clan, Sam has taken these influences and found his sound since 2015. 

Sam is the only brother to three sisters who lost their father in a tragic car accident when he was only eight years old. Six months later, the family home was destroyed by a fire. Around that same time, Sam was diagnosed with epilepsy, a condition he has had to navigate since. Effect by childhood trauma, he began getting in fights at school, resulting in constant suspensions. He began writing songs at the age of 9. In 2005, Sam began pursuing a relationship with God thanks to the examples of his mother and late father. Ten years later, he made a commitment to use his talent for music to inspire, bring hope, and encourage.

Now a husband and father of 3, Sam Purpose has not only created music that has drawn him his own attention, but he represents Christ to both his listeners and family alike.
