Samantha Mogwe, one of Botswana's most played artists, fuses soulful RnB with African and jazzy vibes, singing about love, loss and societal issues.

Born in Botswana to a Zambian mother and a Motswana father, Samantha Mogwe is a singer-songwriter, producer and radio host. She fuses soulful RnB with African and jazzy vibes, singing about love, loss and societal issues such as violence against girls and women.

Mogwe has a degree in theology and also studied music. She started singing when she was just eight years old – first in a church youth group, then in competitions, winning the Gabz Karaoke Idols in 2004 and making it to the top 24 in East African Idols. She released her debut album, Transitions, in 2015.

Mogwe is one of Botswana’s most played artists. In the 2023 Botswana Music Awards she scooped two prizes: best collaboration for her song Marang, featuring Mpho Sebina, and best RnB album for her latest EP VII.
