Sam Davs Music

Hexing the haters since ‘93: This outspoken feminist witch came flying into the Canadian country music scene 5 years ago and hasn't stopped shaking things up since. CMAOntario 2025 Nominee for "Industry Person of the Year," Sam Davs is a multi-talented Ontario born songwriter, artist, graphic designer, social media maven and entrepreneur who loves to use her heart and artistry to raise a little hell, conjure up positivity and get a little spooky.  

With an educational background in songwriting, music business, marketing and audio production, she fearlessly paves a new way in the music scene by trying to mesh the essence of whimsy and gothic folklore into everything she creates. This unique spin is quickly putting her at the forefront of the country indie scene as the go-to for anyone who wants to tell a story with an eclectic view, darker imagery and a sassy tone.

Having written over 300 songs, her songwriting cuts have currently hit over one and a half million collective streams. Davs’ most notable songwriting cuts are with award winning country artists Nicole Rayy with song “Graveyard” and Elyse Saunders with song “Dirt.” 

Spooky country/rock anthem “Graveyard” has seen much success on TikTok with over 1.2 Million views and 1000s of fan made videos. On release day, it peaked at #56 on the iTunes Charts and landed many editorial  playlists across all streaming platforms. “Dirt,” a tongue and cheek honky tonk tune hit 100k streams in its first week, has been added to more than 30 editorial playlists, added to CMT Australia, reached #6 on Sirius XM CH 171 Top 40, was a Top 10 finalist in NSAI’s (Nashville Songwriter Association) country song category, and reached top 20 on Australias Country Town charts.

As an artist, Sam’s debut single “Wish You Were Hotter” peaked at #44 on the iTunes Country Charts release week and was awarded 2nd place for “Best Solo Artist” of her hometown by The Ottawan (Ottawa, ON.) She has performed at many songwriter showcases across Ontario, including HarmoniaFest in Uxbridge, ON, as well as during CCMA & CMAOntario weekends. 

Currently, Sam continues to work with many up and coming Canadian artists: ranging from song creation, production, career coaching, building release plans and graphic design! She also volunteers her time as a social media manager (on the Digital Engagement Team) for the Country Music Association of Ontario.
