Samantha’s singing career predates her wrestling announcing run, with Johnson performing as the lead female vocalist for the “Thriller – Live” Michael Jackson tribute show from 2011 to 2015. She notably made it to the semi-finals of the 2015 season of America’s Got Talent.

Johnson was hired by WWE as a ring announcer in April 2021 following an in-ring tryout, after being introduced to the company by Mark Henry.

During her stint with the company, she introduced WWE stars on 205 Live, NXT, Raw, SmackDown and PLEs, before departing the company in 2024.
