Samantha Jade

Originally from Perth, Samantha has recently moved to Sydney to make music her main priority. At 15, a family friend sent her demo to a producer in LA who flew her and her family to Hollywood.

2 years later, she was signed to Jive Records and recorded demo tracks with some of her idols. But after 3 years, her single was never released and her deal was shelved. She couldn't get a new record deal so after struggling for years in LA, she moved back to Australia.

She worked for her Dad before deciding to move to Sydney where she's now a makeup artist while gigging.

Has a long distance relationship with her boyfriend of six years who lives in LA.

Following on from the Seven Network announcement that Samantha Jade has taken out The X Factor title for 2012, Sony Music Entertainment Australia is pleased to release Samantha’s debut single What You’ve Done To Me!
