Kuku Sebsebe is an Ethiopian popular singer. Kuku was born on December 8 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She spent a majority of her education at Nazareth school and graduated from American Mission. Kuku’s interest in music sprouted from a very young age. Since the age of nine, she used to entertain her classmates by mimicking all the popular artists of both Amharic and English music by using her lunch box as a drum. Her passion and love for music were nourished by her father, Dejazmach Sebsebe Shiberu’s jam sessions at their home and his musical/peptic background. She lived in the Washington, DC, area of the United States for many years but moved back to Ethiopia c. 2003.
