Born in Nairobi Kenya, from Ugandan parents, SUM-01 and her 5 siblings fled Africa due to civil war that took place in Uganda. Raised in London, Ontario Canada and constantly immersed in the musical sounds of African music and dance, SUM-01 grew up enriched in culture. From the age of 8 she was accepted into a performing arts elementary school where her love for music, drama, art and dance flourished.
By high school she attended an Arts and Technology based school, and continued on with music, art, drama and dance. By grade 10 she took another path and started to take her poetry and turn them into songs, starting to rebel a little and was jumping into battles and ciphers at lunch hour, skipping class and acting out.
After graduating she took her newfound love of emceeing to Toronto for a couple years where she pursued a small career in Hip Hop while still trying to complete a year in College for Graphic Design. Unsuccessful in either attempt, she took a long break from music, moved back to her hometown, became a mother and finally graduated from college.
Three years later, SUM-01 the entrepreneur slash mother slash MC is back from her hiatus, and plans to use Hip Hop music to empower and educate the new generations of today. You can keep up to date on her myspace page with blog postings and new music at www.myspace.com/thesumonecomeback or email at tkiwanuka@gmail.com

Salut, j'espère que tu vas bien ainsi que ton bizness! Juste un petit commentaire pour te présenter un morceau intéressant: Avec l'accord exceptionnel de Ms Triniti en personne, la connexion France to L.A en passant par la Jamaïque s'est faite sur le puissant "Wi burnin" en mode Ragga Dance hall. En effet, présent sur la B.O. du film très dansant TURN IT UP, "Wi burnin" a fait sensation notamment au début où on peut entendre un aperçu du morceau. BIG UP JE3F
