Perspective
Divine grew up in Weston-super-Mare, England, where she used to practise DJing in her mum's shed, and worked at Spin Central. Initially her musical preference was hard house as epitomised by Lisa Lashes and Lisa Pin-Up, but following a chance live booking she began to play more soulful house. Following another chance encounter, she began to work for Defected Records until in 2009 she was signed to the artists roster, including progressing to host the weekly Defected radio show. Divine has played live at a number of clubs and festivals, including Sankeys, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and most clubs in Ibiza. In 2015 she set up her own record label, DVINE Sounds, to help new artists. She is alternately known as the "First Lady of Defected" or the "Queen of Defected".[1][2][3]
Divine's 2016 mix album, Defected presents Sam Divine In The House, peaked at number 82 in the UK Compilation Chart.[4] In September 2019 Divine performed a two-hour Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1, playing house music and acapellas.[1][5] In 2024 she had a regular summer residency at Ushuaïa in Ibiza.[3] Divine also produces music, including a remix of the track "Flowers" which was popular on both Beatport and Traxsource.[2]
