❤️🔥 COMING IN HOT ❤️🔥
Sam Davs (Ottawa, ON) is heating things up with the release of her country/rock debut single "Wish You Were Hotter."
This sassy country/rock tune comes after being told by a guy that if she was "just a little bit hotter" he would have dated her. What a loser.
Igniting a fire inside, she wanted to take back the word and give it a new meaning. Telling her story about how he would have been hotter if he were a better person on the inside, the song is a body positive and empowering eff-you-kick-ass-self-love-anthem that you can scream at the top of your lungs or send to your ex that you really don't like.

Bio
Sam Davs is a multi-talented Canadian songwriter, artist & producer who has collectively been working in the country music scene for over 5 years.
With a background in songwriting, music business & audio production, she fearlessly paves a new way in the country music scene by trying to capture and mesh the essence of folklore, and country influences into every song she creates. As the founder of sub-genres Witch Country and Spookytonk, this unique sound has put her at the forefront of the country indie scene as the go-to for anyone who wants to tell a story with darker imagery and a sassy tone.
Having written well over 200+ songs, Davs’ most notable accomplishment is her recent songwriting cut with country artist Nicole Rayy and her song Graveyard. In a short time it has amassed close to 300,000 accumulative streams, 50k views on the music video and has seen much success with radio &on TikTok. It peaked at #56 on the iTunes Charts and landed many playlists across all streaming platforms including Amazon editorials “Brand New Music” & “Breakthrough Country.” Sam and her songwriting have been mentioned in many country press outlets such as Taste of Country, Canadian Beats, Front Porch, & the Country Music Association of Ontario. When it comes to performing, Sam has played shows such as the HOPE volleyball festival in Ottawa, All Woman Music showcases in Toronto & most notably during the 2022 CCMA week in Calgary, ON. In February 2023, Sam released her sassy country-rock debut single "Wish You Were Hotter," which peaked at #44 on the iTunes Country Charts and has seen great reception from fans and industry, being added to dozens of playlists and landing her recognition as "One to Watch" on Studio B With Sarah Scott and "Fresh Face Friday" by C to C Country Music Insider. Davs and her cosmic coven looks forward to entering the "Hotter" era and the release of many more songwriting cuts in 2023!

“Sam is a dependable and persistent songwriter who is always ready to tackle any idea. Born with an innate sense of wonder, her goal to turn over every stone makes her the perfect cowriter for any individual.”
Hayden Mchugh (Artist/Songwriter)
“Creative. Smart. Open minded. Those are just some of the words that come to mind when I think of Sam. The first time I ever met and worked with Sam was virtually over zoom and she immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome. Her talent runs as deep as her kindness and she has quickly became one of my favourite people to collaborate with. Although still quite new to the music scene, her skills are not going unnoticed. Sam is already getting songwriting cuts from multiple other artists and I would recommend working with her to anyone! “
