Samantha “BossLady” Davis-Croft is a dynamic force of creativity, resilience, and vision—a serial entrepreneur, certified master life and business coach, six-time author, actress, nurse, philanthropist, radio personality, and acclaimed Soul/R&B recording artist and composer.
A native of Shelby, Mississippi, and daughter of the late Blues legend Willie Lee “Rip” Butler, BossLady’s musical roots run deep. She grew up singing in her hometown church choir and performing alongside her father, who inspired her lifelong love for music. That passion eventually birthed her own sound and mission.
Now based in Atlanta, Georgia, BossLady is the co-founder of Elite Sound Recordings LLC and
Sipp Starz Radio, created to carry on her father’s legacy while providing a platform for new voices in Soul, R&B, and Blues. She has managed multiple artists—including her daughters—and continues mentoring new talent in the industry through her 18+ years of experience.
Her singles, including “Come On With It” and “BossLady Anthem,” have become fan favorites,
adding to her catalog of 14 original tracks. Since their debut in 2023, she’s been touring across
the country on her Soul & Lovers Tour platform.
