Wamba Kuegou Sabrina Ruth (born 6 November 2001), popularly known as Sabrina,[1] is a Cameroonian Afropop Afrobeat singer and songwriter.[2][3][4][5][6] Sabrina is an Afrobit Productions signed artist since 2019.[7] On November 16, 2021, she released her debut Album Love Aganda.[8] Her hit song Abele[9] is the result of her collaboration with Koffi Olomide which will allow the young singer to reach a wider audience.[10][11][12] This track is now ranked among the top ten collaborations of the Congolese artist.[13][14]

"Five Star" became a major hit song and debuted at number 3 on the Spotify Top 50 chart in Luxembourg.[15] The song reached number eleven on the hit charts on Boomplay in Nigeria, Gambia and Kenya.[16][17][18]

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),[19] 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.[20] 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[21] that she really developed her singing talents with some classmates.[22] Distinguishing herself by her talent,[23] sober and simple,[24] she began to rub shoulders with the small studios of the capital. Shortly after, she was spotted by the label Afrobit Productions[25] during a casting where she was unanimously accepted.[26]

Her career began in 2020 with Afrobit Productions, and is marked by a growing career.[27] Thanks to a repertoire that borrows as much from the variety as from the standards of Afropop music,[28] the young singer manages to make a place for herself in the African musical landscape[29] 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.[30]

While making her way, She will surprise music lovers during her collaboration in 2021 with Koffi Olomide on Abele,a successful title that made her known to the general public in Central Africa and West Africa.[31]

In just a few years on the professional scene, Sabrina Love began to attract international attention.[32][33][34] In February 2023, she was the only Cameroonian artist invited to Lagos, for the Soundcity MVP Awards Festival, alongside such giants as Davido, Burna Boy and Tems.[35][36]

In 2023 Sabrina[37] is nominated for the first time at the Canal 2'Or in the category Best female Afro urban music artist.[38]
