VICKY SAMPSON


Vicky Sampson left Cape Town to work in cabaret and music extravaganzas in Bophuthatswana, Swaziland, Lesotho, Botswana, Mmabatho and Johannesburg.
In 1992, Tusk Records signed her for a four-album deal. Love Will Shine On You and Walk On By were radio chart toppers off her debut album Shine. Her second album Zai was even more powerful than her first and gave her career a big turn.

Vicky has performed throughout the world and has shared the stage with Shakatak, Al Jarreau, Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, Peabo Bryson, George Benson, Grace Jones, Randy Crawford, Maxi Priest, Kool and the Gang and the Stylistics, all within a space of four years. Her performances include the Miss South Africa, Miss World pageant and The Africa Cup of Nations.

Vicky's Afrikan Dream, penned by Mango Groove's Alan Lazar, won her Best Song, courtesy of East Coast Radio, an NTVA Silver for video, and an international MIDEM nomination for video. Vicky has been voted one of the most beautiful women in the land by readers of Ebony magazine.
