Act of the Week: Samson Brothers


Groove Along with the Samson Brothers: South Africa's Musical Dynamo!

Are you ready to be swept off your feet by a contagious rhythm and infectious joy? Well, look no further than the Samson Brothers, the sensational music duo from the heart of Cape Town, South Africa. These brothers are on a mission to make your life more fun with their soulful beats and undeniable talent.

Born and Bred to Entertain Matthew and Josh, the dynamic duo behind the Samson Brothers, were practically born with music in their veins. Growing up in a family where music was the heartbeat of their home, it's no surprise that they've become musical prodigies in their own right. Their father, Cedric Samson, isn't just any dad – he's a Grammy-nominated producer, composer, and drummer. Talk about an impressive pedigree!


A Solid Foundation Their early years were a whirlwind of recording studios and massive stages, and this unique upbringing instilled in them a work ethic like no other. They learned firsthand that success in the music industry requires relentless dedication and determination.

The Self-Taught Marvels Matthew and Josh are self-taught musicians who picked up their first instruments at a tender age. Their dedication to their craft shines through in every note they play.


Matthew's Magical Journey Matthew's journey reads like a music lover's dream. He rocked his way into the Top 18 of Idols South Africa in 2012 and then set sail with Disney Cruise Lines from 2013 to 2018. As a looping artist, he added his unique flair to chart-topping hits, becoming the very first South African musician to join forces with Disney. Not only that, he earned the title of Musician of the Year – twice! From jamming with Disney to touring with South African music legends and laying down tracks in the studio, Matthew's musical adventure knows no bounds.


Josh: The Wunderkind Josh's musical journey is equally remarkable. He started singing at the tender age of 3, was drumming like a pro at 6, and had audiences in awe by age 9. By 16, he was crafting soul-stirring songs that tug at your heartstrings. But that's not all – Josh is a multi-instrumentalist and a wizard in the producer's chair. And did we mention that he was named one of the "top 5 drummers in South Africa" by SADrum Magazine when he was just 12? That's the kind of talent we're talking about!

The Birth of "Samson" In 2006, these brothers took their musical journey to the next level by forming the band "Samson," with Matthew on vocals and Josh on drums. But that was just the beginning of their epic adventure.

An Electrifying Moment Fast forward to August 2008, a moment that would go down in history. The Samson Brothers graced the stage at Nelson Mandela's 90th Birthday Celebration at the Joburg Stadium, captivating over 30,000 fans, including the legendary Nelson Mandela himself. It was a show-stopping performance that etched their names in the annals of music history.

The Vibes Await The Samson Brothers are not just musicians; they're a whole vibe. So, if you're ready to dance, groove, and connect with these incredible talents who are here to make your world a whole lot more fun through the magic of music, then you're in for a treat! Get ready to be swept away by the irresistible rhythms of the Samson Brothers – your ticket to a musical adventure like no other.
