Composer, Arranger, Producer and Drummer Cedric Samson has been at the forefront of the South African music scene since the sixties when his teenage boy-band, “The Fireflies” became the youngest South African group to be signed to a major record label. Since then he has gone on to work with the cream of the music industry both nationally and internationally.

Cedric has developed a unique style with a signature ‘African’ sound which has garnered him with two Grammy nominations, a platinum album that got number one on the Billboard Chart with Ice Cube’s West Side Connection: “Gangsters Make The World Go Round”.

One of Cedric’s all time favourite recordings was producing George Benson, Patti Labelle and Miriam Makeba,with all singers featured on one song for the lead album track “Sacred pledge” which Cedric co wrote with Denise Rich for the Royal Initiative To Combat Aids album “Songs for Life’ for the Kingdom of Swaziland, as Cedric was the Ambassador of Goodwill for the making of the record, plus the live performances for King Mswati.
