Growing up with his mother's family as his Sudanese father left Germany when Samy was just two years old. Shortly after which his half-sister was born. Having lived in Barmbek for many years, they then moved to Eppendorf, a generally better-off part of Hamburg. Given this contrast - he certainly did not come from a well-off background - and his constant problems at school with teachers whom he often defied, he looked for a release and a way to express himself away from school and soon discovered music.
