Anyone who listens to The Ray Hadley Morning Show will have heard Sam Ah Chookoon by now, aka Mr Cowboy 62.

And if you haven’t, don’t worry, Ray Hadley predicts this Samoan musician is going to make a name for himself around the world.

His music has been on high rotation on Ray’s show and now the country singer and his guitarist Josh have made it all the way to Australia for a live performance.

Ray Hadley was in awe of the performance, predicting huge things in Mr Cowboy 62’s future.

“In a few years from now, I’m going to say that young bloke played on my program before anything else happened,” says Ray.

“That was brilliant and, you know what, I didn’t know what to expect. I’m overwhelmed by your talent.”

Sam was extremely nervous to be interviewed, preferring to let his music do the talking.

But he was happy to tell Ray Hadley how he went away from traditional Samoan music and got into the country scene.
