New Jersey native Samantha Spano has been gracing stages across the Jersey Shore since childhood. With a passion for country music, she was dead set on being the face of country music at the Jersey Shore. Growing up on the influence of artists like Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, and Carrie Underwood, she surrounded herself with music at just five years old taking up piano lessons at her local music school and starting guitar lessons by the age of eight. She released her self-titled EP at the age of thirteen which included three original songs entirely written and arranged by Samantha herself.
Throughout her teens, she found herself performing at elementary school assemblies, local coffee shops, and in the summers, legendary Nashville venues like BB King’s, The Local, and the Ford Theater. At sixteen, she was accepted into a songwriting camp hosted by the Country Music Hall of Fame where the foundation was set. Fresh out of high school, she spent a summer recording on music row and released a string of singles throughout 2021 and 2022. These singles gave listeners — young and old — a glimpse into the life of a real-life “Hannah Montana” as she struggled with love, lust, and growing up. Three of these singles were turned into music videos that were written and directed by Spano.
Now an accomplished singer, songwriter, and performer, she brings her powerhouse vocals, flawless stage presence, and endless amounts of fringe and rhinestones to stages across the tri-state area.
