Sabina Ddumba was born on 23 February 1994 in Fisksätra, Nacka. She is the sixth child out of eight in her family. Her mother is Ugandan, and when she was eight years old, her mother moved back to Uganda. [9] After listening to traditional Ugandan nursery rhymes and songs, she became interested in melody and phrasing. [10] Ddumba has started writing songs since she was 10. [11] In 2008, at the age of fourteen, she joined the Tensta Gospel Choir, and sang with the group for about six years. It was through this choir that she found singing was her vocation. [10] Her father and relatives wanted her to pursue a more scholarly profession, such as a doctor. [9]
Ddumba was inspired by the Ugandan nursery rhymes and songs she heard when she was a child. She also grew up listening to the hip hop and R&B of the late 1990s. As her family was religious, the gospel music she heard in church on Sundays has also greatly influenced her musical style. Her time with the Tensta Gospel Choir strengthened the influence that gospel music has had on her work. [10]
Ddumba participated in The X Factor Sverige in 2012. Also in 2012, she sang on Adam Kanyama's track, "The Golden Child" [10] and collaborated with the duo Lorentz & Sakarias. In 2013 she sang background vocals for Katy Perry's single "Walking On Air", which was featured on Perry's album, Prism. The same year she collaborated with hip hop group Looptroop Rockers on their song "Sea of Death". In 2014, she released her first single, "Scarred for Life". After the release of this single, in 2015 she signed with Warner Music.[ citation needed ] In 2015, Ddumba released her second single, "Effortless", which was certified platinum in Sweden. [4] The song was co-written with Carmen Reece, and produced by Nick Ruth and T-Collar. [12] Her single "Not Too Young" was released on 30 October 2015. [13] This single was certified double platinum. [12] In February 2015, Ddumba performed at the Swedish Grammys. [7] In 2016, she performed "Not Too Young" at the P3 Gold Awards, winning the award for Newcomer of the Year. [8] Ddumba will be releasing a follow-up single to "Not Too Young" titled "Not Too Young Pt. II", which will be produced by Wolf Cousins.
