British pop star Samantha Harvey initially gained a
following singing fantastic covers of popular songs on her YouTube channel. She
has since signed to Virgin EMI Records and released two phenomenally popular
hit singles, making a permanent mark on the music world. Her channel now has
over one million subscribers and hosts several independently released singles, including
the uplifting ‘Forgive Forget’ and the emotional ‘Please’, alongside covers of
current hits, vlogs and style tutorials.
Samantha’s rise to prominence is an inspirational one that
saw her build a following on YouTube while still working as a house cleaner.
Covers of tracks by artists like Adele, Celine Dion and Little Mix swiftly got
her name out there, and before long she racked up over a million fans on her
Facebook account. After being spotted by TV researchers, Harvey was enlisted to
sing the weather report on Good Morning Britain, which gave her crucial
exposure. She released her debut major label single ‘Please,’ in February 2018
and a month later it peaked at No. 67 in the UK charts. Meanwhile, ‘Forgive
Forget,’ reached No. 4 on the iTunes chart and once again won her many new
fans. Following this success, Samantha embarked on her debut UK tour across
esteemed venues such as O2 Academy in Islington, London, as well as venues in
Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool. The tour was a huge success, ending
Samantha’s 2018 on a high and proving she is a vital part of the pop landscape
with plenty more to give.
