Born and raised in New York, the gifted young woman has a wealth of experience that has helped her build a unique musical character and identity.

On top of that, she possesses an incredibly captivating voice and a perfect vibrato that evokes many emotions such as sadness, anger, and even the rawest heartaches. Although she uses a powerhouse approach to her art, the skillful musician still retains pop accessibility. As a result, she has earned the recognition and approval of people, from music enthusiasts to casual listeners.
But aside from her unquestionable artistry, what makes Samantha Leon stand out is her impeccable work ethic. In 2017, she started a Kickstarter campaign to help fund her first self-titled release.

The intuitive singer’s distinct sound was influenced by some of the music industry’s greatest icons, including Santana, The Doors, Loggins and Messina, Amos Lee, Mariah Carey, and Maroon 5. In addition, as a songwriter, she looks up to some of the most esteemed lyricists like Fleetwood Mac, Alanis Morissette, and Cat Stevens.
For her latest project, the one-of-a-kind musician dropped the single “I Don’t Wanna Come Home,” which can be streamed on all music platforms, including Spotify. On top of that, the talented woman released the song’s official music video on YouTube.
The single is the first offering of her upcoming EP, Mystic Lady, which depicts an emotional journey that, at some moments, is heart-wrenching but, at others, catchy. It also showcases transcendent musical peaks that will surely impress audiences.
