sheebah1Edisa Kabazungu is proud of her last born Sheebah Kurungi, but it wasn’t always this way. Sheebah quit school at 15 to pursue a music career, starting out as a dancer with the Obsessions.

“She was so young and I wanted her to continue with school,” Kabazungu who was in the audience as Sheebah put up her maiden concert at Hotel Africana last Friday said.

“I thought she was getting spoilt and getting into other things,” but now I am very proud of her,” she said.

Her mother who raised her single handedly thought education was the key for a bright future to take her out of the poverty stricken Kawempe slums, but the bright future Sheebah envisoned was the bright stage lights and adoring fans dancing to her music.

Sheebah went to Kawempe Muslim Primary School, but after S.2 at Midland High School, still in Kawempe, she chose to pursue a  music dream that was full of frustrations for close to 10 years until she landed her Ice Cream hit three years ago. From then on, there was no looking back as she released hit after hit, climaxing in her sold out Nkwatako album launch last Friday, not forgetting an MTV Africa Music Awards nomination.



Check out the video of Sheebah’s proud mother.
