Samantha Millin is a versatile, multi-talented and award-winning artist.

Not only is she at home on stage as a singer, actor and dancer, but she has spent equal time back-stage working with actors and industry professionals as musical director on a variety of shows.

In addition, Samantha shifts easily from composing, writing lyrics, and orchestrating original content on Logic Pro X to scouting opportunities for her Rock Band’s next big gig.

In 2023 at the age of 16, Sam was invited by her school to write an original musical.  Juggling schoolwork and extra-curricular activities, Sam took up this challenge with fierceness, unwavering determination and resilience. Within the year, she single-handedly wrote the original storyline, music, lyrics, orchestrations and was Musical Director for the world premiere of ‘The Influencers’. 

Playing over 4 nights in a Sydney theatre to packed audiences and receiving rave reviews, she is still shocked ‘The Influencers’ actually happened!  To date, work is being done to commercialise this musical for other secondary schools to perform.

In addition to this, Sam has also had the privilege to write and perform other original work for her school, including:

Corona’s Song - Original composition and lyrics for That Covid Show (2020)

Furthermore, Sam is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, including French Horn, marimba, piano, ukulele and guitar, and is trained in jazz, ballet and tap dance.

Sam’s experience on-stage and behind-the-stage has given her deep insight into the collaborative nature of the theatre-making process, making her a well-rounded theatre performer. She is sought after by students, teachers, and industry professionals for her friendly, collaborative, professional and humble demeanour.
