Sam Aguilar
My name is Sam Aguilar and I am currently a freshman communications student at ASU. I am a huge fan of music of all kinds; from Pop to Country. One of my main passions is to go on YouTube, go on Soundcloud, or even word of mouth to discover the next band to fall in love with. What can I say, music is universal and I love the fact I can connect to people through our love of music.
