About this user

Born and raised in Italy, Samantha's exposure to music began early in life. As a young child, listening to her father playing the Spanish Romance on the guitar always put a big smile on her face and, according to her mother, made it easier to spoon feed her (albeit her Italian origin Samantha was never too much into the whole food thing:-)). In addition, her household music library included Broadway songs,Italian Opera and Operetta, American and Italian songwriters, jazz... which taught her to be receptive to most genres.

While attending school, Samantha studied classical guitar with Sergio Notaro at the Centro Romano della Chitarra in Rome. Intrigued by hard rock as a teenager, she taught herself electric guitar, initially generating conflicts with her quiet-loving neighbors, and eventually becoming the lead guitarist in an Italian pop band called Rouge Dada, who recorded with BMG Ariola and toured extensively around Italy.

Samantha later studied jazz, blues and fusion with Rodolfo Maltese and Gabriele Spano, two widely renowned Italian guitarists, while at the same time re-exploring the classical guitar.

After graduating in Foreign Languages at the University of Rome, Italy, Samantha moved to the United States, where she's lived ever since and where she worked in marketing and public relations for several years before becoming a full-time guitarist.

Samantha has performed in public masterclasses for Laura Oltman, Victor Villadangos, Jorge Caballero. A student of Joao Luiz Lopes and Emanuele Cintura Torrente, she performs at private events and public venues throughout the States. Or simply in her living room.
