Biography

Sara Nunes was born in 1980 in Seinäjoki, Finland, to a Finnish mother and Portuguese father. From her early life she was multicultural; she spent the first nine years of her life in Sweden, then she and her family moved to Africa where she attended a Swedish-speaking school. As a result, she speaks four languages fluently: Finnish, English, Portuguese and Swedish.

Her first real experience in the musical business came at the age of 16 when she fronted the marginally successful band, Sinamour, which she founded with her best friend whom she met during high school, Simone, a native of Jamaica. They were discovered when they sang in a Finnish bus. Sinamour was one of the first Finnish bands who got their video on MTV Nordic.
