Samantha Diaz, who goes by the name Just Sam, was adopted and raised by her grandmother. The 20-year-old aspiring artist and her grandmother live in the Frederick Douglas Houses in Harlem. In order to provide for their daily needs and bills, Just Sam sings in the New York City's subway system.

It all started out as a hobby that has turned into a career. Just Sam saw that the tips she earns through her subway singing could provide for her family's financial needs. This is, in fact, the only way she earns a living.

Gospel singer
Just Sam also sings in her Church, The Rock Church in Harlem. She has always been open about her Christian faith and even wrote "GOD IS WITHIN HER#shewillnotfail!Psalm:46:5," in her Instagram bio.

American Idol audition
In 2018, she prophesied to her grandmother that she would make it big on television one day. After just two years, that prophecy is starting to unfold as she stepped on the stage at American Idol for an audition.

As she started to sing Lauren Daigle's "You Say," she got emotional that she wasn't able to continue the song. After some words of encouragement and comfort from Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan, she tried again. This time, she sang Andra Day's "Rise Up" and she delivered a stunning performance!

Prayed with judges
After her emotional audition, the Christian subway singer asked the judges if she could pray with them and they joyfully accepted. They held hands and prayed together. It was a touching moment that was shown on national television. It was not Just Sam who is making it big on TV, she is also making the name of Jesus Christ known.

Just Sam made it through the audition and she's on the way to Hollywood for the next round of the competition. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
