About Me

Making music just for the love of it... With the hope that others will like it too.
My mum helped me make this page, she looks after it for me, so if you get a friends invite it will be either mum or me sending it.
If you send me a message I answer all my messages myself with mums help to understanding things asked or being said. I cant always answer the same day please be patient with me.
I am 14 years old and I have Autism with a pervasive communication disorder, I started singing before I learned to talk. And though I still cant communicate very well using speech... but I do try even if it does not come out right.
I can only do what I do because of the love and support of my family and friends who would not let the label of "Autistic" limit me to what other said I should be able to do....
I'm not the best singer in the world.... but I do love to sing and I have been very lucky to have the chance to record a few of the songs I like to sing, and I have my very own song called "I Have A Voice" MJay wrote it for me about how I use music to communicate what I am feeling to my family and friends.
Most of all what would be great is if my music helps raise "Autism Awareness" and makes people think differently about children who have Autism... Just because we cannot talk or communicate well does not mean we should not be given a chance to show what we are capable of

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/17/2008
Band Website: "samanthae.co.uk

Band Members: There is only me, I sing and play keyboards and I would like people to know I don't do everything myself

A lot of people have helped me get to this point and they deserve the credit too.

People who have worked on my recordings are

MJay Virtualize Productions
MJay does everything
Arranging
Composing
Recording
Engineering
Producing
and some singing as well
You can hear him on "Crazy"

So if you like my music its because MJay did such a good job with it.

A big "THANK YOU" to

Luciah
Singing
Her vocals on "Beautiful" make the song even more haunting.

Simon Reid
Guitar
You can hear him playing on "I'm Like A Bird" and "Crazy"

Simon also made the backing music for the song "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" and then MJay and I played the Hammond organ on it.. which was a lot of fun to do.

Gillies Audio
They are the people who turn my music into a real CD's and designed the artwork for the covers.

Influences: I like all kinds of music

There are too many people and songs that I like to be able to make a list,

My music collection has quite a mixture of music. I collect the "Now Thats What I Call Music Cd's" I have from 31 up to the newest, Mum is working on getting me the earlier ones.

I started singing country songs and classical... then moved onto pop as I got older.

My own song "I Have A Voice" is a dance track with a message. It was written by MJ about how I use my love of music and singing to let people know how I'm feeling. MJ wrote it after reading a poem my mum wrote for me.

Sounds Like: Hopefully I sound like me now.

When I first started singing I was more a mimic than a singer so I sounded like the person who's song I was singing.

Thanks to Sergei Desmond my vocal coach I now seem to be developing my own sound... which is good I think

Thank You also to
