Originally a duo, At age 2 in 2005, the two brothers watched the movie, "Madagascar", which heavily featured the song, "I Like To Move It" by Reel 2 Real & The Mad Stuntman, which was the very first Electronic Dance Music track they had ever listened to.
Many years later, at age 12 in 2015, They started listening to songs such as "One More Time," by Daft Punk which was the second dance music track they ever listened to.
1 year later, At age 13, on February 16, 2016, Daft Lucario officially started to join the dance music game when they were in music class in middle school. However, because they had some technical difficulties with their sound, they originally ceased operations from 2017 until late 2018 when they were inspired by their best friend, Zanny Duko to restart their career.
They're signed with their label Spectrum Music (a neurodiverse talent-focused label/joint venture of Samwell's company, Universonality Media & Entertainment, LLC and Sony imprint, Alamo Records). Right now, Daft Lucario is rising in the dance music game, improving their sound over time. They're Inspired by bigger artists like Alan Walker, NWYR, Avicii, Martin Garrix, Olly James, Daft Punk, Zanny Duko, SaberZ, W&W, Jeffrey Sutorius, Dash Berlin, KEVU, and Armin Van Buuren.
One of their biggest dreams is to perform mainstage at Ultra Music Festival, EDC (Las Vegas, Mexico & Korea), Tomorrowland, Coachella, HYPERGLOW, A State Of Trance, ADE, and more. They specialize in the Mainstage Trance and Mainstage Techno subgenres of the electronic music scene.
On April 11, 2021, Daft Lucario announced that Willi Bautista joined the group as Daft Lucario's producer and third member, making the duo into a trio.
On November 1, 2021, Daft Lucario's frontmen, Sam & Tyler Orlick launched their side project / joint venture with American DJ-producer Zanny Duko consisting of the Progressive Mainstage Trance (a subgenre popularized by Dutch DJ group, Dash Berlin) called, Dash Wolf. Daft Lucario is still continuing alongside Dash Wolf to this day.
On October 11, 2023, Daft Lucario did their very first public show & closing set at the "Beats Bartenders & Brushes" Open Deck Night, organized by Hoboken-based DJ group & booking agency, Get Down DJ Group marking a new era for the group. They would be a direct support act for Philadelphia-based DJ, Nico Oso during that same event 9 months later on June 11, 2024.
On July 5, 2024, Daft Lucario & Zanny Duko made their festival debut at HYPERGLOW Asbury Park at House of Independents where they played a sold-out show to 500 people which is HOI's maximum occupancy.
In December 2024, Daft Lucario spun off their open format/house side into a new project called Master Twins in an effort to distinguish their projects from each other. Their American frontman, Sam has also recently delved into the voice acting industry for animated characters with him auditioning for a total of 6 roles in indie animation company, Studio Zubio's upcoming series, "Bunderkin". He hopes to book at least 1 of the roles in the show spearheaded by ex-Dreamworks tech director, Stephen Candell.
On January 19, 2025, Daft Lucario signed onto NYC-based agency, Amaru Events to expand their operations outside of the New Jersey/NYC area.
Reports are also stating that Daft Lucario & Zanny Duko are rumored to play at Miami Music Week and possibly Ultra Music Festival in 2026 for NYC-based duo, Surfing DJs marking yet another new milestone in the careers of both entities.
All of the shows are part of a 2-part tour dubbed the "Legends of The Feels Tour". Starting in May 2024 and ending in August 2025.
The future ahead is looking very bright. Whether it is under Samwell, Daft Lucario, or Dash Wolf, the music isn't stopping anytime soon.
