Early life
Wamba Kuegou Sabrina Ruth was born on 6 November 2001 in Yaounde. She is originally from the West Region (Cameroon) where she spent part of her childhood with her grandparents. After obtaining her First Leaving School Certificate (FLSC), she joined her mother in Yaounde and it is in the English curriculum of the bilingual high school of Yaounde that she continued her secondary school.
Career
She manifests her attraction to the world of music from a very young age. At the age of eight, she started to learn singing in the Bafoussam church choir. Then, she moved to Yaounde and it was at the bilingual high school that she really developed her singing talents with some classmates. Distinguishing herself by her talent, sober and simple, she began to rub shoulders with the small studios of the capital. Shortly after, she was spotted by the label Afrobit Productions during a casting where she was unanimously accepted.
Her career began in 2020 with Afrobit Productions, and is marked by a growing career. Thanks to a repertoire that borrows as much from the variety as from the standards of Afropop music, the young singer manages to make a place for herself in the African musical landscape with an album called "Love Agenda" and several other singles that are growing in success. With sports playing an important role in her career, she has a dedicated gym provided by her label.
