MEET THE FOUNDER
SALLY SAMPSON
Struggling performers, I see you and I'm here for you.
I’ve been where you are—feeling stuck, hustling through soul-draining jobs, and watching others seem to catch the breaks you’ve been waiting for. For the last 15 years, I've lived in the grind, trying to make a living and keep my dreams of being an actress/singer alive. I've done it all, from answering phones in call centres to spending nearly a decade as a radio presenter. But whether I was on the phone or speaking into a microphone, I was still so disempowered. I was chasing my dream of being a performer, but I was stuck in a cycle of scarcity, waiting for someone else to give me my big break.
A few years ago, after changing my life for what felt like the billionth time, moving across the world to Canada, and trying to start fresh, I had to face a harsh truth. I was caught in a loop of insanity—doing the same things over and over, hoping for different results. I was stuck, giving away my power, waiting for someone to discover me, to validate me, to give me permission to shine.
That’s when I decided to flip the script. I realized I couldn’t wait for someone else to hand me my big break—I had to create it for myself. That was my eureka moment. I saw that the only way forward was to embrace the path of the Entrepreneur Artist (or the Entreprenartist™) — someone who owns their artistry and their business, who takes control of their career and their narrative.
This epiphany led me to create Re-Present Studios. It’s more than a company; it’s my passion and my mission. I wanted to help artists learn the skills to become entrepreneurs so they can be full-time artists. Fully immersed in their craft and financially free.
At Re-Present Studios, we focus on empowering artists to become their own bosses, create sustainable careers, and thrive in an industry that so often leaves us feeling stuck.
I’ve been the one who felt like I was going in circles, and I’m committed to making sure no one else has to feel that way. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or unsure of how to move forward in your career, know that you’re not alone. And know that there is another way.
Let’s rewrite the narrative together. Let’s take back our power, our stories, and our futures as artists.
Let’s become Entreprenartists™.
WHAT DOES RE-PRESENT MEAN?
"Re-Presenting" is about hitting reset and taking back control. It’s the moment you stop waiting for someone to give you a break and decide to make it happen for yourself.
"Re" means to do again, to reclaim, and "present" is about showing up on your terms. It’s not just a name; it’s a call to action for performers ready to ditch the starving artist myth and build bold, sustainable careers.
And no, we don’t represent performers—this isn’t an agency. We’re here to arm you with the tools to represent yourself, take charge, and own your future.
You’re the boss now!
WHY THE ANKH?
The Ankh, also known as the Key of Life, is an ancient Egyptian symbol representing the cycle of creation and reinvention—a concept every artist knows well. It’s not just a design choice; it’s a tribute to Sally's Egyptian heritage and the resilience, creativity, and transformation the symbol stands for.
At Re-Present Studios, the Ankh is a reminder that artists hold the power to reinvent themselves and take charge of their careers.The Ankh represents transformation—breaking free from outdated notions and creating a life you actually want to live.
The message is clear: the key to your future is already in your hands.
