About Metal Sam

I was born on Sep 25th, 2001 in Kabul, a few weeks after the horrific and brutal attacks of 9/11. I was born in a low income family. My parents worked really hard to make a living. After the soviet invasion of Afghanistan, nothing was left but ruins. Following their defeat, Afghanistan was divided into different parts and each fought for power. Civil war destroyed everything and killed thousands of civilians. My parents and I survived.

After the US-led War on Terror started in hopes to bring freedom and democracy to Afghans, my country was still far from safe. In my country, people always resist change, even if it is leading to a positive direction. There used to be a chance of getting harmed by suicide bombings around the city or being mistakenly targeted by Allied forces at any time.

I bought a guitar using the help of a friend in 2017. Since then, I have been busy practicing and learning it through YouTube guitar lessons. The learning process has been a wonderful journey - from an absolute beginner to a shredder. I think to learn the guitar was one of the best things I have ever done.

Now that I am in America, nothing can stop me from making more music and fulfilling my ambitions. I wish to show people how evil war can be, especially to those who have never experienced it.
