Sam Moran was born in 1978 and grew up in southern New South Wales, Australia. He later moved to Sydney to study classical voice and music education at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where he was able to experience using music in classrooms and to observe how young children respond to music in their development. Sam was honoured to become a member of The Wiggles in 2006, taking over from Greg Page, who he had understudied on more than 150 occasions. Since then The Wiggles have won two major Australian music industry awards for ʻPop Go The Wiggles!ʼ (2007) and ʻYou Make Me Feel Like Dancing!ʼ (2008). Sam is especially proud that he has contributed to the bandʼs continued success and is thrilled that their audiences have been so welcoming of him. Samʼs first appeared with The Wiggles in 1998, as host of The Dorothy the Dinosaur Show that toured Australia, New Zealand and the United States. He then appeared as Professor Singalottasonga and Dapper Dave in The Wiggles television series and DVDs, and rose to the challenge of providing backing vocals for the English, Spanish and Taiwanese versions of The Wiggles. He has travelled the world as part of The Wiggles Live Show including tours in Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Sam first met his wife, Lyn, on tour when she played Dorothy the Dinosaur. They live in Sydney and welcomed their own little ʻWigglerʼ into the world in January 2010, with the birth of their first child, daughter Eloise..
