About Samantha Cole:
Samantha Cole is a multi-talented singer, songwriter and performer turned vocal coach and talent manager.  Cole was discovered by Universal Music’s Doug Morris and Daniel Glass, and promptly signed to Universal Records.  She co-wrote eight of the songs for her self-titled debut album, produced by an all-star team of hit-makers: David Foster, Nile Rodgers, Richard Marx and Rhett Lawrence. The album spawned the Top 40 single “Happy With You.” The follow-up single, “Without You” (written by Cole and Foster), soared to #1 in Asia and was later covered by American Idol stars Kimberly Locke and Clay Aiken. She is also known for her top 5 global hit, “Luv Me Luv Me”, in which she is featured with international superstar Shaggy. Cole has toured with Backstreet Boys, Shaggy and 98 Degrees and has collaborated with Boyz II Men, Robin Thicke, Diane Warren, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith songwriting teams, and more. She was also signed to EMI Publishing as a songwriter.

Cole prepares students throughout the year for vocal competitions such as “The Voice,” “America’s Got Talent,” “American Idol,” “The X Factor” and “The Four.” She is also currently recording and producing some of her students’ EPs and albums. With her connections and relationships in the music industry, Cole offers a unique background that is truly special and hard to find.
