Samantha is in her 30s and did not realise that she was autistic until she was 22.
She received no help or encouragement in her musical ambitions from school or family.
Her autism meant she was unable to attend college and so she trained privately in voice and acting.
Despite the problems of her autism she has been determined to succeed and by following an unconventional route now regularly stars in touring theatrical productions.

Samantha is extremely versatile – she learns very fast (a benefit of her autism) and has sung in Japanese, Russian and Swahili as well as most European languages.
Samantha teaches singing (classical technique) and Swing dance.
Samantha also does session recording work in styles from 1960s to EDM to Opera.
