Samantha Natalie

A native of Miami Beach, FL, Samantha Natalie’s musical career began at age four, studying classical piano at conservatories throughout the Greater Miami area. She began to explore her talent as a singer at age six, starting out at St. Patrick’s Children’s Choir. Since then, she has been involved with many musical groups throughout her grade school and college career, including Miami Beach Senior High School’s Rock Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Clark Doug Burris. A recent graduate of the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, Samantha Natalie studied in the Studio Music and Jazz Vocal Performance Department and had the wonderful opportunity to perform with many prestigious jazz/pop artists including Kevin Mahogany, Kurt Elling, and Jon Secada.

It’s been close to 22 years since Samantha Natalie first began playing the piano and singing, and now she brings her original music to the table. She has been performing her original music in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area for almost ten years now and had her self-titled EP released on June 2, 2006, at the Pawn Shop Lounge in Miami Beach FL, where she had the chance to rock out in front of close to 175 of her fans.

“I’ve been writing original music for quite some time, and every song says something different about my journey to where I am now. These songs are my release, my therapy, and my one true love.”

Her influences include most female singer/songwriters such as Carol King, Carly Simon, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, and Tori Amos. Yet she also shares a bit of her rocker side by looking up to classic rock musicians like Led Zeppelin, Elton John, and Billy Joel. Her sound is unique, soulful, and classic to say the least.
