One look at Samantha Duenas, and you're instantly aware of her "talents". But let this L.A.-born, NYC-residing beauty near a turntable (or an iPad) and she transforms into
SoSuperSam, her DJ alter ego, and you'll be overwhelmed by the kind of talent that doesn't require quotation marks. From
her website:
Samantha seamlessly mixes by way of vinyl using a variety of genres, including 80s, 90s, Dance, Electronic, Hip Hop, Indie, R&B and Soul.
Her 2010 mixtape entitled “Cruel Summer” garnered significant attention, leading to clients such as Casio G-Shock, Complex Magazine, Steven Alan and Vans.
In 2011, Samantha began to hit the national and international circuit, playing along the East Coast, and as far as Singapore and Paris. She has had the opportunity to open for artists like Boyz II Men (Decca Records) and Dam Funk (Stonesthrow Records).
SOSUPERSAM is perhaps most familiarly known as the tour DJ for Childish Gambino (Glassnote Records). Her latest mixtape "This Way Up," was released on October25, 2011, shortly before Samantha joined Childish Gambino's "The Sign Up" tour.
This girl's got it all. And she's coming for the world next.
