Samy has been a fantastic mentor in my personal life as well as my career. He is ambitious and driven with a creative mind full of ingenious ideas. He has a strong understanding of the music industry and is not afraid to push the boundaries to further any project. He has a gnat for accomplishing anything he wants. Samy Eissa would be a true asset to anyone; he refuses accept failure as an outcome.
