Sam
Fox is a descendent of a long line of quick witted and entrepreneurial
Londoners: industrious and cheerful, true Cockneys (born ‘within the
sound of Bow Bells' in the East End). For generations her close knit
family prospered as costermongers (market traders), selling fruit, vegetables,
textiles and haberdashery in the historic Chapel Market.
Sam's grandmother can remember her own childhood
in war torn Britain, when her mother's family had five market stalls of their
own. From these people Sam inherited energy, wit and sense of humour plus
a unique musical talent and a world class beauty all of her own.
World famous UK resident American Disc Jockey and
widely recognised popular music authority and commentator Paul Gambaccini,
recently commented in an interview with Anglia Television that there are three
things that set Sam Fox apart from many other singers and account for her
phenomenal global popularity and recognition, namely:
Talent plus the X
Factor
Professionalism and
Commitment to Hard Work
Good Luck
When the press announced Britain's ‘most
photographed women' they were: Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana and Sam Fox.
Not since the Beatles has a British personality been so well known all over the
world, across a complete cross section of age, sex, race and religion. Sam
Fox has been compared to Marilyn Monroe and Madonna, not least because she
possesses the same fascinating vitality and allure.
Sam Fox was born to perform and destined to be
famous.
Sam's first stage appearance was when she was
three years old. By the age of five she was already attending the Anna
Scher Theatre School. She made her first television appearance when she
was ten in a BBC play called No Way Out and at eleven she was accepted by the
Judy Dench Mountview Theatre School.
However, music was Sam's first love and at 14 she
formed her first band. When she was 15 she got her first record deal with
Lamborghini Records but when she was whisked into the glamorous modelling world
her music career was put on hold.
During the four year tenure of her extremely
lucrative modelling contract, Samantha Fox literally became a household name in
the UK and the nation's darling.
Nonetheless, as soon as her contractual
obligations expired, Sam immediately wanted to focus all her attention on her
music again. At the age of twenty Sam released her first single Touch Me.
Sam made her debut live appearance as a singer at Peter Stringfellow's
prestigious Hippodrome in front of an audience composed entirely of DJs from all
over Europe.
Touch Me went on to amass a
formidable array of Platinum, Gold and Silver awards. Overall, twenty four
discs honour these sales. The Touch Me album and three others found Number
One national chart positions in no less than 15 countries and Top Fives in
numerous others including the USA.
During this time Sam toured the world, barely
stopping for breath. Indeed, Samantha Fox made a terrific impact with her
live act, selling out halls of up to 30,000 capacity across Canada and America
and touring Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea. In Montreal she broke
the box office record.
In South America she had huge record sales and a
sell out tour sponsored by Pepsi - 20,000 seat minimum. There were 50,000
people at the airport on her arrival in Colombia. Sam was invited by the
Minister of Tourism in Brazil to the Rio Carnival. In Ecuador she took
part in a celebrity tennis match to raise funds for hospitals.
In one year alone Sam played to over a million
fans. Another year was spent in New York, V'Jaying for MTV (presenting pop
promo video programmes on Music Television), acting in a sitcom and recording
with top US producers.
As someone with humanitarian interests she chose
to also visit and perform in unusual countries including Bosnia, Russia, the
Ukraine and Siberia. In India Sam performed to 70,000 people three nights
in a row, breaking the record previously held by Bruce Springsteen.
‘I have fans in some remote countries in the
world and there are not many artists who will visit these places.
Sometimes the hotels have no running water and the transport is scary but the
graciousness and appreciation of the fans is so overwhelming you have to take it
in your stride.'
Perhaps it is this global approach that accounts
for the international composition of Sam's fan base. With the advent of
the internet, the development of her own official site and links with the many
other Sam sites run by long term loyal fans, the world has become her ‘Cyber
Oyster'.
Sam has entered an era where her intuitive sense
of adventure and curiosity has always belonged from the start. Her early
desire to travel all around the world and her fascination with far away places
and different cultures was almost ahead of the times when she began. Now
in the year 2006 the world has opened up to her way of thinking and through the
internet, global consciousness is being raised as people come together.
In the studio Sam Fox creates an infectious
musical style that has placed her in the highest echelons of rock and pop.
Sam Fox is the ‘people's choice'. A young woman to whom everyone can
relate. An international personality who possesses a natural and
charismatic appeal.
Sam has also had parts in three films:

It's Been Real written and directed by Steve
Varnom, starring John Altman.
-
The Match written and directed by Michael
Davis, starring Piers Brosnan (the new James Bond), Ian Holm (Alien), Tom

Sam Fox, already an international icon of the
twentieth century continues to shine as the new century begins. Today we
see her confident and mature as she steers her career into the twenty first
century with the talent, application and versatility that has become her
international hallmark.
Right now Sam is working on her next album. She
has just released her own video documentary ‘All Around The World' produced by
Sam herself. This is a revealing travelogue style extended interview
covering her most recent worldwide travels and performances. It is packed
with authentic footage on Sam's adventurous tours, including previously unseen
glimpses of life behind the scenes as well as live on stage performances and pop
promo video clips. Sam takes us through recent years and openly talks
about where she is going today and what is important in her career.
Sam is currently researching and writing her
autobiography, undoubtedly a best seller. This book will contain the truth
about the fascinating life of Samantha Fox. From humble beginnings, to
worldwide fame and all before the age of 18. Her story is one of humour,
glamour and heartache. Her story is the road to fame and the struggle to
survive. Sam will set the record straight about the many misconceptions,
myths and travesties surrounding her life, work and image.
‘Watching You Watching Me' has been released
worldwide. The album features some of the best releases featuring a CD rom
of videos, interviews and live footage.
Sam has currently finished recording a new album
‘Angel with an Attitude'. Her new material is a much harder sound using
dance beats, mixed with a rock style. Sam has co-written all her own
material and collaborated with creditable underground DJs/Producers.
We feel this will be Sam's finest work to date
and we are looking forward to a release early on in 2007.
Sam continues to perform around the globe and has
recently formed an all female band whom have just finished a very successful
Canadian Tour performing some of her new tracks off the forthcoming album
"Angel with an Attitude". Her ‘Foxy Army' fans all agree
that this is Sam at her best performing some of the strongest songs of her
career.
