Hi! Hello! Bonjour!

​

I’m Samia – pronounced (‘sahm-ya) – French and NYC-based actor and singer.

​

After being trained in Musical Theatre in Paris and singing in Gospel & soul choirs, I moved to the Big Apple to diversify and further my training in acting techniques at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.

​

Here, I fell in love all over again with Shakespeare. I met wonderful artists and teachers with whom I got to experience fascinating movement-based techniques, like Lucid Body Suzuki and Viewpoints, which added up to my love for dance. I discovered the thrill of working on other media with on-camera and film work. I’m challenged every day to jump out of my comfort zone, fail big if I fail and always, always learn.

​

I’m thrilled by the amount, diversity, versatility of projects that New York City has to offer and extremely grateful for all the opportunities and artistic encounters coming my way.

​

Acting is a way for me to explore multiple facets of humanity, express my creativity and to enjoy the exhilaration of constantly doing something new and spontaneous.

​

Every day spent here and acting, I learn and I grow. How lucky are we, actors, to get to be ourselves and step into somebody else’s shoes !
