Sara Nunes

Sara Nunes is a Finnish pop singer who achieved fame in 2005 after releasing her debut single "Simon Can't Sing" which was a parody of Simon Cowell, the famous American Idol & Pop Idol judge. She and her song became instantly a hit in both America and her native country, Finland. Sara Nunes was born in 1982 in Helsinki, 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. According to her it is a blessing in her life. 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. It is known for its small hit "Sync Out". Now Sara lives in Helsinki and is concentrating on her musical career. She released her album "How 2 Rule Da World in 12 EZ Lessons" on August 3rd 2005, only in Finland.
