Samuel Mubenesha is a multi-instrumentalist and singer officially stage-named SAM THE PSALMIST and has a heart burning passion for God's Kingdom.
Originally from the DRC, this high-breed is predominantly French-speaking and well-travelled. Fleeing the shocking violence in the DRC at the age of six, they lived in Zambia for a few years, then Botswana, eventually ending up in South Africa, and Sam's accent celebrates all those places! With the example of a strict doctor for a father and a mother who has raised her 6 children with creativity and hard work, he has a work ethic and positivity that will take him far.
Sam had been an accompanist since the age of 12, but never took singing seriously, because of his reticence. Then in his early 20's, he started receiving songs in his dreams and a prompting from God to step out and start leading in song.
Initially, he just kept the songs to himself, but God was persistent and gave him even more. Sam started ministering with it, until one day someone suddenly called him a psalmist! It resonated and stuck... hence "Sam the Psalmist."
Sam stays an introvert and still feels shy sometimes, but then, God loves using the unqualified, the underdog and those who are overlooked so that He may receive all the glory for the work He does through you. Not that he has anything to be shy about! This man is a chemical engineer by trade and recently graduated with a cum laude in a master degree program! He is informed, well-read and loves his soccer like anyone else, but if you ask him what makes him tick, his answer will always be... my MUSIC!
And not just any music... Sam the Psalmist wants to do prophetic ministry through his worship. He wants to speak the heart of God. No gimmicks, just rely on the Holy Spirit to give the people what they need in the presence of God. Just like he had received his healing in that holy place.
Sam: "To be quite honest, I didn't think I was ready to officially launch my music, but the lockdown put things into perspective. I thought, God has given me all these songs, what if I
don't make it through the lockdown? I don't want to be held accountable for not releasing these songs that could have blessed and encouraged the world! So that was a wake-up call."
Sam has released his first single called "Yahweh" and his available on digital platforms.
