Samantha Tobey’s Biography
Samantha Tobey’s music is introspective, haunting and melodic. With a background in jazz, her vocals are strong and her writing is complex.

Samantha Tobey’s voice cuts through L.A.’s smog like a burst of fresh air. She’s Hollywood’s idea of a hometown heroine, born and raised under the stars (her grandmother was a song and dance girl as well), with an uncanny knack for contemplating the beauty and sadness of it all.
Samantha’s rising star comes after years of building a loyal fan base in SoCal with a ton of memorable gigs (The Viper Room, The Mint, The Derby, The Cat Club, Alterknit Lounge, and many others.) Her sultry, angelic voice has brought comparisons to Tori Amos, Sarah McLaughlin and Jenny Lewis . (think what stream-of-consciousness heartbreak sounds like coming from a wide-eyed child).
With her haunting melodies and cutting lyrics, Samantha is poised to reach the next step of her career with her first EP entitled Fall Like the Leaves, which includes “Rocks and Stones,” “11 Shades of Red,” and “12 O’Clock.” Her vocal range runs the gamut — from quiet and moody to shameless and kick-ass. Samantha’s music shimmers with promises of hope and heart, of love lost and won again, of fleeting glimpses at a better tomorrow. It plays with our familiar (and familial) collection of stories. It teases the potency of a Forgotten Dreamworld. It’s acoustic raw emotion, charged with soul and tempered by loss.
The immediacy and intimacy of Samantha Tobey’s songs reminds us all to face those ghosts And maybe, just maybe, they’re not so scary with her at your side. “Samantha’s artistry is a breath of fresh air wonderful tunes with a beautiful voice Her material sparkles with good nature, soft unspoken charm and outright talent!” – Ann O’Leary, “Music Connection”
