Own Africavision Song Contest 14 - Confirmations

Chinouriri was born in Kingston Hospital on 1 November 1998. Her family later moved to Croydon, where she was raised from age 3. Her family had moved to UK from Zimbabwe shortly prior to her birth, and she experienced a "traditional African upbringing". Her upbringing led her to be curious about British culture, specifically its music, and as a teenager, she became influenced by the discographies of Daughter and Lily Allen. At age 17, she began writing songs and recorded them on a £20 microphone, uploading them to the music sharing website SoundCloud via her mother's laptop.
