Samantha J continues her trek into the realm of the international mainstream music industry, with her second promotional stint along the eastern coast of the United States in three months.

With Tight Skirt cracking the Top 100 on the Urban Media Base charts in the United States, and having a fast-rising radio audience of more than five million listeners in the USA, Black Entertainment Television (BET) chose Samantha J to kick off their recent 'Young Starz Week' on 106 & Park. BET is currently available in more than 90 million households, and the show is hosted by recording artiste and Hollywood movie actor Bow Wow.

Samantha J was the youngest act in Jamaican recording history to perform on the iconic 106 & Park music programme, and expressed that: "It was amazing to know that so many Jamaicans were so proud of my performance. The live audience at 106 and Park waved Jamaican flags, and there was even a huge crowed outside the BET studios for a meet-and-greet. I am truly grateful and thankful," she beamed.

While at BET Studios, Cable News Network (CNN) had got wind of Samantha J's international media attention and asked her to appear live on their HLN news programme 'Showbiz Tonight', hosted by the entertainment media staple A.J. hammer.
