An acoustic version of Samantha James 2006 hit Rise
from her 2009 EP Rise Acoustic Sessions
Samantha James is an American dance musician from Los Angeles. She released her debut album, Rise, in 2007 on Om Records, which features production work by Sebastian Arocha Morton (aka ROCAsound).
The title track from the album was released as a single and has reached #1 on the US Billboard Dance charts.
Because of that, her debut album Rise ended up in the "iTunes Top 100 Best Selling Dance Album."
Being a granddaughter of David Rose, Samantha grew up with different types of music. During her teens, she became heavily involved in the underground dance scene in LA. At the age of 13, Samantha's mother Melanie Lee Rose died after an 8-year long battle, of breast cancer. And so after 8 years of working on her music she met Sebastian Arocha Morton (Sting, Vikter Duplaix, Fischerspooner).
When she met Sebastian she was determined to be different than other artists. After a while Samantha and Sebastian came up with a mix of soulful and electronic music and continued on that path.
Her friend Dave Curtain, discussed with Samantha what would be a good label for Samantha's music and came up with Om Records. When they contacted the label and sent them a demo of her song "Rise", she was signed on to a single deal. After a while she was signed to do a full-length album.
When she released her first single named "Rise" in 2006, it hit the #1 on the Billboard Club Chart making her debut album "Rise" end up in the "iTunes Top 100 Best Selling Dance Album." Shortly after releasing her debut album she toured around the world.
In 2009 Samantha announced on her Myspace that she was working on a new album named "Subconscious".Samantha later stated that just before Rise was released, her father passed away and she took some time off before commencing writing new songs for the new album. In 2010 James released her second album. Samantha James's music frequently appears in makeup artist (and personal friend) Michelle Phan's videos.
