Browse piano sheets by Sam Haft on Zen Virtual Piano. Sam Haft is a writer, songwriter, director and performer born and raised in New York City. Haft says that in high school he first wanted to be an animator, and that the first voiceover work he did was for himself. A sketch comedy group in Brooklyn came next for Haft. It got him an agent and voiceover bookings, and it contributed to his leaving university three times. A wish to animate, beside a sketch group in Brooklyn, may suggest a working life that began on the performing side. Cakewalk was the software Haft began with. Andrew Underberg, his Hellaverse co-composer, introduced it to him; Underberg was two years older and acted as his mentor in the Big Brother, Little Brother program at high school. Haft's music partner Yoav Landau founded The Living Tombstone, where Landau is the producer and Haft does the musical stuff. A mentor who introduced the software, beside a partner who produces, may point to music made alongside others. Haft's songs usually start with a voice note, which he then tries to flesh out on guitar most of the time, but occasionally on piano or a Suzuki Omnichord. Haft names the warm response to You Will Be Okay as a highlight, his very first song for one of Vivienne Medrano's projects, a lullaby sung from one character to their young child. His son was 1 year old at the time of writing, and Haft poured many of his personal feelings as a father into the song. Haft also names the platinum certification of My Ordinary Life, the first song he and Landau ever wrote together. A lullaby written for his son, beside a platinum song written with Landau, may hint at both family and partnership running through Haft's songs. Haft describes the sound of Hazbin as character-driven, with the production for each song defined by the singing characters and environments in the scene under it. On Dreamworks TV's Trollstopia Haft portrays the recurring villain Smooth Jazz Chaz. He also recently wrote the songs for A24's musical cartoon Hazbin Hotel. Songs for Hazbin Hotel, beside a voice role on Trollstopia, may point to work that spans writing and performing. Haft says that he and The Living Tombstone are working with the record producer CJ Baran on a next full-length record entitled Rust, which he describes as almost a rebellion concept album. A song-by-song, character-driven sound on Hazbin, beside a concept album with The Living Tombstone, may suggest that Haft writes for stories as well as for records.
