Samson was born in the small town of Bedford in East England and started studying music at the University of Birmingham.

For her exclusive baroque music she managed to win an Arnold Goldsborough Prize in her early years. Carolyn made her debut as a soprano by singing Monteverdi's "L'incoronazione di Poppea" for the English National Opera.
In 2006, Samson released five records based on the works of Stravinsky, Mozart, Bach, Handel and Monteverdi. By this time she had appeared with some of the best musical ensembles like Collegium Vocale and King's Consort. She has sung a great variety like that of 'Pamina' in The Magic Flute and the lead role of Semele. At the Glyndebourne Festival Opera her roles in The Fairy Queen remained immensely popular and were subsequently released on DVD. In 2007, Carolyn sang the lead role in the Boston Early Music Festivals production of Jean- Baptiste Lully's opera named Psyche. This role received rave reviews from critics and the Boston Globe newspaper wrote that Carolyn gave a "pure-voiced and radiant performance". Later on the opera was recorded and went on to clinch a Grammy nomination for 'Best Opera Recording' in 2008.
Apart from the roles the talented artist has performed as a soloist in respected oratorios like Schöpfung by Haydn and St Matthew Passion by Bach. Her various concert engagements in England includes regular appearances with orchestras like Manchester Camerata, The English Concert, The Sixteen and The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
