He is one of the unforgettable names from the SA Idols show and is back, alongside two other Idols’ favourites, to entertain fans at the Boardwalk in September. Bevin Samuels melted hearts each time he smiled innocently and did one of his signature poses in last year’s season of the wildly popular reality show and he is ready to entertain audiences from his hometown on the Boardwalk Amphitheatre’s stage.
From Port Elizabeth, this dynamic young man discovered his passion for music at a very young age. Matriculating in 2015, he decided to take a gap year and pursue a career in music. The moment he was the judges’ pick for the Idols Top 10, Samuels realized that he had made the correct choice.
Every time he was chosen to move forward in the competition, Twitter would be bombarded with tweets from Samuels’ fans, and Facebook flooded with messages of support and love for him. Despite his many star qualities and votes from all over South Africa, he had to exit the competition on the evening that the Top 5 was revealed. This Port Elizabeth “home boy” entertained fans at Boardwalk last year, and will not disappoint as he is back by popular demand this year.
Joining him on stage are Loyiso Gijana and Keegan Martin, another two Idols favourites to be reckoned with. Gijana was one of the Eastern Cape contestants sent to the Carnival City auditions for Idols by the radio station Algoa FM. This young student from Muir College in Uitenhage wowed judges and fans, and although he did not win, he still peforms several gigs, including the SAFTAS and is building up a massive fan base. His performance of feel-good music is not to be missed.
Discovering his love for music at just eight years of age, Keegan Martin, who also made the Idols Top 7, will be joining Samuels and Gijana on the Boardwalk’s stage. Martin’s career started off as a member of both primary and high school choir, and later being the choir conductor of his high-school in matric, as well as the Noordgesig High School in Soweto the following year.
One of his biggest achievements was being the opening act for the international R&B sensation Tasmia at Carnival City during her visit to South Africa in 2013. Another memorable highlight for him is when he performed as backup singer for the world-famous Marvin Winans and Donnie McKlurkin at “Perfecting Church International” in 2012.
Martin is currently working on a few projects to be revealed to anticipating fans soon. “We are thrilled to have these three passionate singers on our stage to treat guests to a mind-blowing performance”, says Siphokazi Ngombane, PR and Promotions Manager at the Boardwalk.
Do not miss the chance to see these young, dynamic artists in hip-swaying performances performing a wide array of songs. They will be on fire on the Boardwalk’s Amphitheatre stage on 15 September at 20h00. Tickets cost R150 per person and can be booked through Computicket.
