AboutSam Phillips (real name Leslie Ann Phillips), previously known as Leslie Phillips, is an American singer-songwriter, born on January 28, 1962 in Glendale, California.
Originally an '80s Christian pop singer, Leslie adopted her nickname "Sam" after changing her sound and meeting her husband/producer T-Bone Burnett on her Turning album. After denouncing her previous religious label (and faith) she signed to Virgin for her breakthrough album The Indescribable Wow and made her nickname a testament to her new outlook. Although she may have lost many of her fans in the Christian pop scene, her new albums after her metamorphosis gave her a much larger and more diverse fanbase not to mention critical acclaim.
Aside from singing and performing, she also has acted in films including "Die Hard: With A Vengeance" and "The End Of Violence", both in small yet entertaining roles.
