The 17-year-old, who is currently on a promotional trip in North America, is upbeat about the Columbia agreement. "I cannot express how happy I am to be a part of the Columbia Records family. The label has a rich history of developing great artistes and music. As soon as I have my exams under my belt, I can't wait to get back to producing music and most of all making Jamaica proud," Samantha J said in a media release.
