Samuel (Sam) Joseph Bowles is an American Social media personality who has gained a large following by posting a few viral videos on TikTok.

Early Life
Sam Bowles was born in Chicago, Illinois on November 24, 2003. He later moved to Findlay, Ohio in January 2004, and then again to Duncansville, Pennsylvania a year later. He lived there for six years with his mother, father, and younger sister, and then they moved to Everett, Washington, where he still resides today.

Since he was young, Sam has always been interested in the performing arts, specifically film and television. Lots of home movies were produced with the help of his parents and a video camera. When he was eight years old, he created a YouTube channel called "Kidzinwa," that featured the other neighborhood children, thus the name "Kidz in WA." Contrary to Sam's aspirations when he was young, this channel did not get very much traffic, but this didn't stop him from creating content, posted online or otherwise.

Sam downloaded Musical.ly in 2016 after seeing his peers using it. When the app was merged into TikTok in 2018, he quit using it for awhile, and later, in January 2020, he decided to download it again, hoping to become a big creator, such as Charli D'Amelio or Noah Schnapp.

Recognition
After a bit of a rocky start, Sam started to gain views, specifically after a video of him pouring a bucket of water over a sidewalk chalk got a significantly larger view count than the rest of his videos. Viewers urged him to repost the same video with music over it, which he did to a cover of the song Sunday Morning (Maroon 5 song) on April 26, 2020. This video got over 1.3 million likes, and was reposted on Daily Dose of Internet's Youtube channel, as well as plenty of Instagram "Satisfying Videos" accounts.

On July 4, 2020, after creating much more sidewalk chalk content in the hopes of getting views, Sam uploaded a video of a drawing he had created of a US map.. Although it got less views than his previous viral video, this video gained Sam thousands of followers.

Sam continues to create content for TikTok account today as a hobby.

Personal Life
Sam practices Presbyterianism and has made videos about Bible stories.
