[2] A member of the Abitibiwinni First Nation, Samian was born in Amos and grew up in the community of Pikogan in Abitibi-Témiscamingue and in several other cities in the province of Quebec.

In 2005, Samian collaborated on several projects with Canada's National Film Board, the Department of Indian Affairs and HARRO décrochage scolaire (school dropout Network), AIDS and problems related to compulsive gambling.

The same year, he met with Anodajay and wrote the song "La Paix des Braves", which referred to the agreement signed respecting a new relationship between the Cree Nation and the Government of Quebec.

At the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day festivities on June 24, 2008, Loco Locass and Samian performed "Paix des Braves" before tens of thousands of spectators at Maisonneuve Park, as well as millions of viewers on television.

Alongside Dany Bédar, Samian was the mentor of several Aboriginal musicians, singers, writers and performers, aged 18 to 30, guiding them through an artistic journey of intensive training, ultimately leading them to the recording of their first album as a group.
