Originally hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Flores grew up immersed in the vastness of the Southwest desert, spending his time as a youth skating, drawing and honing his graffiti skills (his moniker being Tiger).

He is uniquely noted for being an autodidact, or self taught artist, having no formal institutional training. Sam eventually landed in the Bay Area in the late 90’s drawn to its Bohemian lifestyle and also the promise it held for him to develop his career as a commercial artist.

Sweepstakes is a music/art collaboration founded in 2020 by music producers Mike Relm & Jesse Cale
