I’m not really one for watching Glee, but the advert for one issue caught my eye and that was Sam flashing of his abs, so I had to watch it and see what all the fuss is about.

The third of six children, he was named after the musical term of the same name. His brother Nash is also a musician, and is a member of the band Hot Chelle Rae. Encouraged by his parents to pursue music, he started playing the mandolin at an early age, and moved on to the drums and guitar. He is also a songwriter, but is unsigned.

Chord is definitely someone we are going to be seeing more off, with them looks and on mainstream TV.
