Pop singer A*M*E (Aminata Kabba) was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone. At the age of eight, she moved to London, England after her mother's hair salon was destroyed by a fire. Shortly after her relocation, she formed an informal pop group and quickly realized that she'd be more comfortable on her own. She crossed paths with songwriter/producer <a href="spotify:artist:7uMh23xWiuR7zsNkuNcm2G">MNEK</a> years later and recorded some collaborative material, including "City Lights." <a href="spotify:artist:1XgFuvRd7r5g0h844A5ZUQ">Take That</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:3ZcbVcd3fsf9qKK02UVzGB">Gary Barlow</a> heard that particular song and signed her to his <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Universal%22">Universal</a>-affiliated <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Future%22">Future</a> label. The bouncy dance number, inspired by early house music and K-pop, was issued in 2012, as were "Ride or Die" and "Play the Game Boy." The same year, she co-wrote "Beautiful Stranger" for K-pop group <a href="spotify:artist:3wRA5UYoo08BBKJnzyKkpF">f(x)</a>, who took it to number one in their native Korea. The BBC long-listed the rising star for their Sound of 2013 poll. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
