Biography[]
Sam Robinson was born on December 5, 2001, in Seattle, USA.[3][4]
He started dancing at the age of 10 and also studied singing and acting in his youth.[3]
In 2018, he participated in the LDH EUROPE Presents VOCAL BATTLE AUDITIONS ~THE GLOBAL STAR SEARCH~, but failed.[5] This led him to enter EXPG LA to train.[3]
On July 4, 2019, he made his first appearance as a member of PSYCHIC FEVER at the BATTLE OF TOKYO ~ENTER THE Jr.EXILE~ live concert at Makuhari Messe. On September 24 in the same year, he was announced as an official member of the group.
On July 20, 2021, LDH JAPAN announced that SAM's entertainment visa would not allow him to perform at establishments that serve food and beverages in Japan as there is a risk that it would exceed the scope of residency activities permitted by the Immigration Control Act of Japan. Therefore, it was decided that he would refrain from taking the stage and performing at Izakaya EXILE. Nevertheless, he would continue to carry out activities through regular LIVE performances, TV appearances, and SNS while considering the visa tolerance.[6]
On April 18, 2022, it was announced that SAM would leave PSYCHIC FEVER and LDH JAPAN as of the same day. This decision came to be due to differences in his living environment after he came to Japan alone, recent changes in circumstances, and the growing discrepancy between SAM's vision for the future and the direction of the group's activities.[1][2][7]

To all of you who have always supported SAM of PSYCHIC FEVER
My time with LDH and psychic fever have been great but I realize that it’s time for me to move on and separate myself. I love Japan and all of you guys so much. You have no idea. I am currently back in the United States working on myself and searching for what I want to do with my life and who I want to be. I really appreciate all of you so much and I want to thank you for these past two years. The experience that I gained working in Japan is something that I will never forget. I hope that you will continue to support me and PSYCHIC FEVER.
