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.

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."
