About Samantha Cole:
Samantha Cole is a multi-talented singer, songwriter and performer turned vocal coach and talent manager.

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.
