Samantha Clemons

A genre-fluid singer-songwriter and musician based in St. Louis, Samantha Clemons is hard to pin down; but better that than being boxed in. Born in the sweltering summer heat of Houston, Texas in 1988, Samantha's soul-soaked sound finds its roots in the echoes of gospel choirs, jazz and blues rhythms that surrounded her during her childhood. Her mother–a St. Lucian musician, singer and artist herself–was the first to see the spark of her potential and bought Samantha her first guitar at age nine, shaping the songstress she's become.

As NPR's Pilar Fitzgerald noted of her 2021 Tiny Desk submission, "Clemons' voice is striking: secured in deep depths in one moment, then bursting like wildfire in the next. And just as complex as her range are her lyrics — the story she tellsÉ is so beautifully imagined."
