Samantha DeRosa will be performing her original song "Pill for This" at 9 p.m. in front of Charlie Puth and other producers.

The show features undiscovered songwriters who pitch their original creations to superstar recording artists and a panel of chart-topping producers.

Some of the stars include Leona Lewis, the Jonas Brothers, John Legend, will.i.am and more.

DeRosa started writing her own songs growing up in Dutchess County. She took her talents to the stage for the first time at 15 when she performed at a talent show, earning a perfect score from the judges.

She attended Pace University but graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston. DeRosa co-wrote her first smash hit "Broken" for lovelytheband, and moved out to Los Angeles.

DeRosa currently works with Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Shane McAnally and has several songs of her own out, including "Hard to Love" and "Baby I Know."
