All About Me - Samantha Daniels

I am a sixteen year old singer - songwriter who also loves to write and act.  From the time I was a young whippersnapper, my parents have always encouraged me to be creative and to be a problem solver.

My goal is to become a professional recording artist or an actress.  I love both, BUT being a recording artist is my dream.  Acting, yeah acting can go second, but I really love it.  I became interested in a performing arts career when I was about eight years old.  Until then, I wanted to be a Veterinarian.  I did love to sing before, but I think my gut was finally telling me "Sam, your actual dream isn't  supposed to be a veterinarian.  Your REAL dream is to be in the entertainment industry." Since then, it has been the goal I have been chasing. Oh wow, eight years already?  Let me continue.

I got my first taste of professional singing when I started posting videos of when I was eleven on YouTube.  Then, I did something I will always look back on.  I tried out for "America's Got Talent".  I auditioned in New York City. Even though I was one step from being away on the actual show, I never forgot it.  Around the same time, I learned something about acting at Way Off Broadway, an acting school.

When I got to high school, my acting/singing career started to get really interesting.  Acting wise,  I was in a student film called "Safe In My Mind" that was filmed at Herricks High School.  That is when I knew I really started to like Film Acting.  In the spring of 2013, I tried out for "XFactor" but didn't make it.  The experience was memorable and really fun.

 Then, My sophomore year of high school became really crazy with my singing/acting career.  I met this man who has mentored me for about a year now.  He is very important in my life, as he gives me insight about the music industry. We started recording music together, and developing songs from the song lyrics I had wrote within the past few years.  During this time, I cut my first single - 'Losing My mind".  In late December of 2013, I appeared on The "Steve's chapter's radio show".  This is a talk show that recognizes talent musically, and talks about current events.

My life started to change after that.  I started introducing myself, and emailing myself to music executives, and managers, and applied endlessly for opportunities on 'Backstage.com".  Through these efforts, I have appeared in two films and impressed music executives with my single.

In the summer of 2014,  I appeared in a upcoming short film that will be at the Sundance film festival in 2015.  This film is called "Epic Feud".  Then, something too good to be true happened.  Losing My Mind, my single, was selected and will be part of a top twenty hit countdown on an international online radio station network that syndicates to over 80 stations all over the entire world with 12.5 Million listeners. This is a new,  and really exciting adventure for me.  I can't wait.

I am really really really excited to share my life on my STAC blog!  The best part of this for me is that I've accomplished most of these things on my own.  I hope you enjoyed my biography and look forward to sharing more with you in future blog posts.
