Able to play various instruments at the tender age of six years, coupled with his passion to listen, create and perform music was all it took for Samuel Mkhize to find his way into South Africa's booming house industry. 

While only considering music as a hobby, it took almost a year of convincing, from a close friend for him to officially debut on Deep On Deck: September 2016 as Sam Mkhize. Since then, he's had the opportunity to play in multiple events and among some of South Africa's biggest artists such as: TiMO ODV, Mogey, audiojerk, Kilopascal, Michael Douglas, Two Tone, Thatcher, RIKAY, Nique, Bassmental, Ctrl Room and many more. His distinctive production, influenced by the likes of: deadmau5, Skrillex, Stimming, Zedd, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, Oliver Heldens, Nicky Romero,  Avicii, Jon Hopkins, Uberjak'd, Clockwork, Billy Kenny, Kyle Watson, ClassSickKwl and many more has earned him the chance to release on multiple record labels.

Sam's goal is to impact and inspire anyone willing to listen, just as the artists mentioned above did for him. He believes all the accolades and acclaim come second to the joy he's able to give people, whether you see him on stage or simply listening in.

Sam would not be who he is without the teachings, mentorship and guidance from his older brother Sphesihle Ntobeko 'JubSoup' Mkhize [1990 - 2014]
