HOLLYWOOD/19 INKS IDOL WINNER JUST SAM

American Idol winner Just Sam has inked an exclusive record deal with Hollywood/19.

Throughout the season, the native New Yorker has shown both her vulnerability and fearlessness in her songs and interviews. Her soaring emotional dedications to her grandmother, such as “Believe” (Fantasia) left nary a dry eye, while surprise choices like “Como La Flor” (Selena Quintanilla) demonstrated her potential star power. In her finale moment, singing a heartfelt rendition of “Rise Up” (Andra Day), Just Sam rose to the top and took the crown.

Following her victory, Just Sam has released the live performance of her take on "Rise Up." Watch her performance below and listen to the song here.
