Samantha XO, originally known as Samantha Heart, is a DJ, producer, and artist from Western
Kentucky. She grew up in the tri-state area on the Ohio River where Cincinnati, Ohio; Kentucky;
and Indiana meet.
She started having the idea of making her own music in 2020. In 2021, Samantha XO began to
learn how to produce music. Before that, she had been a DJ spinning other people’s music for
six years, but it was time to create her own.
Samantha’s sound is a mix of classic vocals and beats with a modern twist. Her favorite
producers are Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, and John Summit.
She’s currently working on an EDM remix of “Big Energy” by Latto. The song’s original lyrics are
about women’s empowerment, which inspired Samantha to make her version of it — and one
that she plans to release soon.
She works closely with her production team — just herself and her co-producer, manager, and
fiancé, Michael Venezuela — to ensure that every sound is top-notch.
Samantha’s unique approach to music has earned her several accolades. She has been ranked
in the top 100 DJs in the world by DJane Top 100 Magazine, but that’s not all. Samantha has
also been voted Sexiest DJ in Florida and recently in the U.S.
If you’re looking for uplifting music with an undeniable groove and soulful energy, then
Samantha XO is your girl!
