DEBRA’S LIFE CYCLE….

London-based singer/songwriter DEBRA DEBS is currently getting some serious attention from knowing soul folk. She debuted back in 2011 with an EP that got her name known around the capital, but with a first full album – ‘LIFECYCLES’ – topping a number of soul charts AND being nominated “Album Of The Week” on Jazz FM we thought it was time to find out more about the sweet voiced song bird whose beguiling brand of soul is hard to pin down but totally unique. We began by asking Debra about her background…..

I was born in the capital city of Cameroon – called Yaoundé in the early 80’s. I grew up with my brother and single mum [and oftentimes a host of other lovely family members, which is how we roll in African communities]. At 10 I was shipped over to boarding school which I attended for 7 years and then moved over to the UK for further education. I had a brilliant childhood which was pretty comfortable and I suppose has given me the grounding in life that I have.

How did you first get involved in music?
