A born entertainer with a burning desire to play music to people around the world, Sam Divine’s enigmatic sets are an effortless schooling in pure, unadulterated house. From her early days as the sole member of the Defected street team in Ibiza to fronting their radio show and now headlining the world’s biggest clubs and festivals, The First Lady of Defected, has become an intrinsic part of the UK house music scene. On top of touring globally and playing festivals worldwide, Sam continues to put a focus on giving back, raising over £50,000 for Breast Cancer Research through her charity D-Vita and mentoring up and coming female artists via her association to Lady In The House. Like all others, the pandemic ground all touring to a halt but it also inspired Sam to spend more time in the studio and 2021 also brought new music in a collaboration with Australian DJ and producer, Kormak, as well as a new EP on her own label. Sam launched her own highly successful imprint, DVINE Sounds, in 2015. To date, the label has seen almost 100 releases, helping to propel talented up and coming artists into the spotlight. Stepping back twelve months, 2019 was a year of firsts for Sam with her debut appearance at London’s Printworks venue, where she returned on New Year’s Day alongside her Defected crew. That September she was invited by Radio 1 tastemaker Pete Tong to record a coveted Essential Mix – a true marker of how far her career had come.
