He took his first steps in the orchestra of his church where he became, despite his young age, the lead vocal in a choir of more than 50 singers and subsequently became the assistant choirmaster. As a versatile and talented artist (Singer and Drummer acknowledged by all), S’amson was still a student when he began his career. He was part of a musical group with which he won his first prize by participating in and winning the 2008 Edition of Podium. That famous national musical contest was animated by Mr Didier Bléou, drawing crowds of over 4,000 people at the Palace of Culture of Abidjan’. Therefore, S’amson decided to definitely move away from studies to music.
In 2014, he participated in the first Edition of ‘Culture Live’, which he also won. In 2015, once more, he was a finalist and the winner of ‘Vacances Culture Live’ in Abidjan. On the basis of these experiences, he decided to participate in the casting of ‘The Voice Afrique Francophone’ in 2016/2017 in South Africa. He made a flawless as the only Ivorian and West African fanalist in the team of Mister Salif Traore Alias Asalfo, the lead vocal of the Magic System group.
After a brilliant performance at ‘The Voice Afrique Francophone’, he was quickly spotted by several event companies in Russia, Dubai and Morocco, where he had concerts and performances for major prestigious evenings. Despite his attachment to Ivorian culture, he has a wide spectrum of musical cultures and he listens more particularly to Zouglou, Coupé- Décalé, Reggae, Gospel music and RnB.
His favorite artists are the Magic Système Group, Debordo Leekunfa, Arafat DJ, Maître Gims, Fally Ipupa Michael Bolton, Seal, Garou. The fact of having sung in front of several great international music stars such as Singuila, A’salfo,
Lokua Kanza, Charlotte Dipanda, Armel Bent,
Pascal Obispo, Lara fabian, Marc Lavoine, etc,
shows his desire and his ability to stay in music and
perform on big scenes alongside great stars.

first opus called “Il faut danser (You have to
dance)” that was released in February 2021.
He is about to reveal his third single to the public
after the second one called “Amour compliqué
(Complicated Love)” which was released on
August 20, 2021.
