Hence he formed a group with more people that included Ricky Dillon, Connor Franta, Trevor Moran, J.C. Caylen, and Ricardo Oridires. This became highly popular. The group has several tours together and garnered a lot of fans. But they separated in 2015.
Sam went solo after that. His videos were liked by his fans and the video titled How to Know If a Guy Likes You went viral. Sam is honest and straightforward on his vlogs. Most videos are funny and entertaining. Despite the fame, Sam is modest and down to earth.
In his online videos, he talks about himself including what is bad in him. He has diabetes. And he likes to surf, maje music and take pictures. Sam is not fond of two-wheelers. This is because he had several falls and accidents during his growing years.

“Never get mad at someone when they fall asleep texting you. Because they used every ounce of energy to stay awake and text you.”
He had once admitted:
“I had never thought I would have fans.”

“Holding on is being brave. But letting go and moving on is often what makes us stronger and happier.”
Appreciating inner beauty in a joking way, Sam states:
“You are not fat. You might have more fat on you than other girls. But you’re not fat.”
And,
“People will always talk about you especially when they envy the life you live. Let them….you affected their lives. They didn’t affect yours.”
