The duo built a catalogue that includes Saxofuckingfon, Bada nakna, Shuffla and Odödlig. They competed in Melodifestivalen four times, reaching the final in 2015, 2016 and 2018. Shuffla finished fourth in 2018, with Samir credited among its songwriters.
His own voice.
Samir made his solo debut in December 2016 with Vet att du vill ha mig, co-written with featured artist Kevin Högdahl. In 2018 he and Viktor published their autobiography, telling their story to Pascal Engman.
