Kahmala Stephen
Hi there, My name is Kahmala Stephen and I have been singing since the age of 5. My first performance was at my local churches talent show, and this is where my love and passion for singing and music stems from.
Since that time I have moved on to singing heavily in the church and have focused on gospel music and infusing the genre with a modern but soulful vybe.
Through out my musical journey, I have written and arranged a national independence song while in high-school, did a summer intensive vocal training session with Alison Novel Ford in Barbados, performed in 2 separate off Broadway musicals in New York, where I received special recognition and awarded for vocals for one of the musical plays “the return are u ready.” I have competed locally in GBNs gospel challenge and Barbados got talent. I am constantly working with local artists and always ready to share my gift.
To date I am working on my first gospel album and can’t wait to share it with the world.
As an original cast member of Carol’s by Candlelight, I am excited to be back on for another season and celebrate this magical time with you all!
Sabrina Francis
Sabrina Francis’ unique musical journey began in 1994 on the small Caribbean island of Grenada. Born to a large family of artistically driven individuals, but in a country where opportunities and access for creatives are very limited, Sabrina found writing and singing to be a second language and ultimately a stepping stone to the artiste she is today.
Making Afro-Caribbean Pop & R&B professionally since 2014, her songs chronicle and share her coping mechanisms for life while reinforcing her belief that the secret to happiness lies in remaining true to yourself and being grateful for everything in your life. This attitude propels Sabrina in pursuit of her goal of having a global impact through her music.
Taking advantage of every possible opportunity, Sabrina’s emotive blend of music is often described as spiritual, uplifting, joyful and effortlessly appealing. The overarching theme throughout her songs speaks to female independence, mental health and the shared experiences of hard working individuals reaching for success whatever the situation they may be in.
Although quiet and controlled in demeanor, Sabrina is very adventurous and playful with her music. Pulling from the array of musical influences she’s had growing up, the singer isn’t shy about experimenting and incorporating different styles in her musical creations, which has led to an individual sound that is sure to forge its own distinctive path in the musical arena.
She’s released three bodies of work so far, ‘Think In Colour’, ‘I Feel’ her second album and her EP ‘Million Moments’. In 2019, her song ‘I Feel’ earned a finalist prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition. In 2020, she launched ‘Sabrina’s Treehouse Concerts’ series which has flourished since the first show in 2020 and in 2021 she toured Europe and the UK. In 2022, she added four new single releases to her discography, including “Call Me”, produced by Nigerian producer extraordinaire ‘Mystro’, played at the prestigious Bush Hall Venue in London and closed the year alongside the grammy award winning Pentatonix and other creatives across the globe on a Disney+ special called ‘Pentatonix: Around the World for the Holidays’.
Her pace in 2023 is equally intense. While maintaining monthly performances at her wildly successful Tree House Concerts, Sabrina has in the first half of the year also added another two releases to her discography – “I Feel Amazing” and “Woman”, a UK tour, the return of her Wide Open Concert and made her debut at the Royal Albert Hall as an opening act for Asa – the ‘soul-full’ Nigerian-French singer, songwriter and recording artist. Sabrina continues to blaze a trail in the constant pursuit of her dreams through hard work and constant innovation to overcome hurdles and connect with her audience with no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
