Who Is The Amosa Family? The Samoan-Australian Family Band Going Viral on TikTok

When Kirrah Amosa was born, her parents were 16. Her dad, Steve, had a promising music career in front of him and chose his family instead. More than thirty years later, that family is the band. Steve and his children Kirrah, Lahni, Mayah and Kofi perform as The Amosa Family, Canberra’s Samoan-Australian family band, and their harmonies are now reaching 12,400 TikTok followers at @theamosafamily.

Who is The Amosa Family?

The Amosa Family is a five-voice family band led by father Steve Amosa with his children Kirrah, Lahni, Mayah and Kofi. On TikTok they call themselves “your favourite Samoan-Australian family of singers.” Offline, they run Tuchasoul, a family business in Canberra that books them for weddings, galas and festivals and also handles event styling, photography and custom songwriting. According to the company’s own story, it was founded by “New Zealand–born Steve Amosa” and is powered by his children.

Their feed mixes two things: big, tight harmonies, and the sort of sibling roasting any big family will recognise. A sibling skit titled “KIDDING WE LOVE OUR MUMMY” sits next to a Samoan-language hymn.

Who is Steve Amosa?

Steve has been singing acoustic soul in Canberra since the early 1990s. The family’s bio says he represented Canberra on season 2 of Australian Idol, supported Alison Limerick, Sam Sparro and Crystal Waters, and headlined a charity show at the AIS Arena alongside Paulini and Jon Stevens. He has also sung with the Blamey Big Band and the Canberra Symphony Orchestra.

Kirrah told Region Canberra in 2019 that her earliest memory is her father singing. At five she was singing with him and her uncle, and by about seven she was performing with him. She also said her goal was stadiums, so she could bring him on stage and give him “his moment.” In her words: “I wouldn’t have had that moment unless he gave up his.”

Who is Kirrah Amosa?

Kirrah, the eldest of the children, is the family’s theatre veteran. She won a Canberra Area Theatre Award as Elphaba in Free-Rain Theatre’s Wicked, with her dad playing the Wizard in the same production. In 2017 she joined The Bodyguard in Sydney as understudy for Rachel and Nicki Marron, the roles Paulini and Prinnie Stevens played on stage, “on permanent standby,” she told The Canberra Times. By 2021 she was the female standby for Eliza, Angelica and Peggy/Maria in the Australian company of Hamilton, HerCanberra reported.

She also has a long solo catalog on Apple Music going back to 2018, from R&B singles to Samoan- and Fijian-language songs like “Isa Lei Lia / Samoa Matalasi” (2024) and “Noqu Masu” (2025). Today she co-directs Tuchasoul and, according to the family’s site, founded the Canberra mothers’ community Mums Club.

Who are Lahni, Mayah and Kofi Amosa?

The younger Amosas are coming up fast. Mayah, 19, has sung with the family since she was ten. She sang the Samoan national anthem at the Canberra Raiders’ Multicultural Round and also runs the family’s social media, according to the band’s bio. Kofi, still a teenager, is already the family’s most-watched voice. The clip of him singing, posted with a tribute to Signature Choir, has about 1.4 million views. Lahni is also part of the lineup named on the family’s site.

What music has The Amosa Family released?

The family started releasing music together in 2025:

• “I’ll Be There” (June 2025): their take on the Jess Glynne song in Samoan, with a translation by Failelei Fiaui Ioapo. The music video, they wrote, is “a glimpse into a normal night at our home.”
• Christmas with The Amosa Family (December 2025): an EP with “Silent Night (Po Filemu),” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Gethsemane” and “Sing to Jesus.”
• 2026 singles: “Choose The Right” (May), “Bread of Life” (June), “I Feel My Saviour’s Love” (July), and “Abide With Me” and “Afio Mai” (August).

Lately, crowds have been singing “I’ll Be There” back to them. “The last couple of gigs, we’ve noticed heads turn and eyes look our way when we sing this song,” they posted in October 2026, “and now we’re hearing it sung back to us.”

Why does Samoan culture matter in their music?

It runs through everything. Their third-biggest clip, at about 400,000 views, is a song for Black Saturday: December 28, 1929, when New Zealand police fired on a peaceful Mau movement procession in Apia, killing Samoan leader Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III and others. “We love our music, our country, our people and will sing with them til the wheels fall off,” they wrote. This week they posted a cover for Toa Samoa and Fetu Samoa as both national teams head into the final round of the Rugby League World Cup.

When is Christmas with The Amosa Family?

Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 5 to 7 p.m. at University House at the Australian National University in Canberra. It’s the second year of the show, which the family bills as “Canberra’s new Christmas tradition.” Every ticket goes to the Giving Machine, which helps local families in need. The family will sing Christmas hits from Mariah Carey, Michael Bublé and more, with guests The Faumui’s, another local family band, and Legs Performing Arts. Tickets are A$25 for adults and A$10 for kids 3 and up, and families are invited to bring a picnic blanket. Get tickets on Humanitix.
