Isabella Schieferer
The 40-year-old from Linz dared to take his first steps into the music business very early on – as a young boy he played a role in a music video by LaToya Jackson. Cesár comes from a family of musicians, his mother worked as a pianist and choreographer and he grew up in studios and rehearsal rooms. After he started traveling the world at the age of 17 with well-known names from the Viennese alternative scene (Kruder & Dorfmeister, Sofa Surfers, Louie Austen), he was mainly drawn behind the scenes of the music business - as a songwriter, lyricist and producer in international productions. Cesár Sampson represented Austria in the 2018 Song Contest with "Nobody But You" and ended up in a sensational third place. In 2021 he began composing Christmas carols.
