The pandemic brought a vibrant 7-yr stretch of full-time artistry to a halt which led to the manifestation of his notable livestream series 'The Midnight Hour w/ Sam Trump' where he continued to perform and provide a platform for other artist's ideas to live. Sam Trump is co-founder of multiple Chicago-based organizations, and is a business owner and entrepreneur. He brings a sophistication that engages & uplifts.
