Hey hey, I'm Ruby Samba, I'm 21 and was born and bread in Cardiff. I'm currently working in Mwnci Tv ltd and i love it, busy and exciting!
I have been singing for about 3 years now and i love it! My father plays guitar for me at the moment he's amazing and it great being able to be utterly comfortable with someone...good for the creativity...Altho i am contantly up for jamming and creating new things with people.
I studied in Coleg Glan Hafren for two years doing music and I've had a few singing lessons, Other than that I haven't studied music really. My Dad's a world music DJ and so I've been brought up listing to artists from around the globe. My particular favourites include...Manu Chao, Zap mama, Gilberto Gill, Carlinos Brown and Yousou Ndour.
I have a few different mixs on my page the most recent being the wildest - it was created by the lovely Markus Milz and Co! thankyou!
