Sam Lavery

Just announced, Sam will present her own Capital Dance radio show 'Club Capital Dance' which goes out across the UK on Fridays and Saturdays 7pm - 10pm.

Sam shot to fame at just 16 years of age when she appeared on the XFactor in 2016. Simon Cowell picked Sam as his projected winner and as a result she reached the final shows.

This led to her first UK and Ireland arena tour with the XFactor in 2017, performing her unique set, including arrangements of Michael Jackson’s classic, ‘Earth Song’ & James Arthur’s brilliant take on ‘Impossible’.

Since then, Sam has gone on a nationwide theatre tour with M People’s Heather Small, performing every night to sold out audiences, followed closely by supporting Boyzlife on their theatre tour. Sam was also a special guest for Matt Goss on his winter theatre tour.

Sam has shared the stage with many great artists such as John Legend, Olly Murs and James Arthur.

Her original track ‘For The Night’ was very well received by radio with over 500 radio plays, alongside releasing a super remix of the song by BBC Radio 1 artist, AJ Moreno.

Sam released her brilliantly catchy and edgy fourth single ‘Bad Boys’ continuing to bring more radio, clubs and retail on board. ‘Bad Boys’ was added to several of Spotify playlists including New Music Friday. ‘What You Do’ and ‘Done’ followed, gathering more radio plays at the end of 2018.

Throughout 2019 Sam toured the UK and Ireland as the lead female in Green Day’s Tony award winning musical ‘American Idiot’. Following the hugely successful UK tour ‘American Idiot’ finished with a world first premiere and run of dates in New Zealand.

With her love for all things music, Sam started radio station training and was given her own DJ presenting slot on Capital FM in the Northeast where she presented her own show in 2019.

When Sam isn’t writing, performing, or playing music, she is very much into her fitness and is a total adrenaline lover. Sam takes great enjoyment with extreme sports like paragliding, gliding and scuba diving in caves…. when time permits!

When the world ground to a halt with the Covid pandemic, Sam spent her time split between her home recording studio where she was writing and recording, and the radio station studio rehearsing, rehearsing and more rehearsing!

The start of 2022 saw Sam land her own radio show as drive-time presenter on Capital FM in the Northeast – going to show that hard work does pay off.

It's now 2023 and Sam will present her own Capital Dance radio show 'Club Capital Dance' which goes out across the UK on Fridays and Saturdays 7pm - 10pm.

Stay tuned for more to come!
