Samara's Experience

I’m currently a back up singer of some Latin artist like Luis Enrique and I have been touring with his band a year now. I have recorded vocals on Puertorican folk music and I’m currently recording my second single. I write all of my songs and have collaborated with other songwriters writing songs for Latin artists. I love songwriting!
