"You have taught Sam so much. He is so thrilled with your class that he can't wait to renew". ~ Christine Cohen (parent)Sam has been an It Factor student since the age of eleven. With Matisha's recommendations, Sam was hand picked to perform for Mr. Kenny Ortega at an event hosted by Ms. Ricki Lake and handpicked to join the sketch comedy troupe, "The Izzy Show", that performs monthly at The John Lovitz's Comedy club. Sam has gained much recognition for his acting and singing abilities since training with Matisha. During the performance of our original production of "Middle School Reality" Sam was handpicked to compete in the 2012 World Championship Of Performing Arts, where he made it as one of the top three finalist. Sam and Matisha currently are in the studio recording his first pop album under the name Sammy J. Make sure you look out for his first single in 2013. CONGRATULATIONS SAMMY J!
