Sam Bailey      

2013 UK "X Factor" Winner

Winner of "X Factor" 2013, Sam Bailey burst into the public limelight as an inspiring and hardworking mother with an unforgettable vocal talent. A wonderful solo artist who is perfect for large corporate events and functions, Sam is a consummate professional whose ability and repertoire will ensure your guests will enjoy sensational entertainment that provides a highlight to proceedings.

Auditioning on the tenth series of the "X Factor," Sam performed a rendition of Beyonce’s ‘Listen’, in front of the X Factor judges. Her outstanding performance warranted a standing ovation from all four judges, with Gary Barlow calling her voice “incredible”.

Placed in the over-25s category, Sam soared through boot camp and became an easy choice for mentor Sharon Osbourne to take Sam through to the live shows. After both the other over-25s acts were eliminated in week one and two of the live shows, Sam stood alone in her category, rallying support from the nation with stunning performances alongside her humble and charming character.

Taking on the likes of Nicholas McDonald and Luke Friend in the final of "X Factor" 2013, Sam participated in a duet with Nicole Scherzinger and the following night sang the winner’s single – 'Skyscraper,' by Demi Lovato. Sam received more than 1 million votes over finals weekend before being announced as the winner.

'Skyscraper' was the first "X Factor" single to achieve the Christmas number one since Matt Cardle in 2010, with Sam going on to having a number one album titled ‘The Power of Love’. Thanks to the success of her album, Sam embarked on a supporting tour across the UK in January and February of 2015, receiving critical acclaim for her undeniable talent and natural ability to perform.
