Samantha Mooney
Samantha has been performing in South East Queensland for
the past 10 years. Her love of singing was evident from an
early age and came naturally from both sides of the family.
Her father, Kevin Jolley, was part of the vocal group "The
Dominoes" who performed weeknights on "In Melbourne
Tonight" with Graham Kennedy. Her Uncle, Kevin Kidney,
was a champion boy soprano.
Samantha’s career began during her teens when she was
in demand as a "wedding singer". After joining
forces with Brett to form "Scorpio" she gained
a big following for her captivating vocals and harmonies.
Songwriting was a natural progression and Samantha is currently
working on original material for her debut solo album, which
should be complete by late 2004.
Her first original track, Love of my Life was specifically
written for a wedding and captures the emotion and happiness
that people in love experience.
Love of my life won 3rd place in it’s category
at the prestigeous Australian Song Writers Awards for 2003/2004.
Samantha completed a live recording for Gold Coast ABC radio
that included 3 original tracks and a cover version of Dusty
Springfields "I only want to be with you" that went
to
air in August 2004.
