Hailing from Manchester (“0161 that’s home and will be home forever”), the 21-year-old has an admirable grit which has seen her go from broke and unemployed to one of the most promising rising stars in the space of a year. Soaking up influences from her Portuguese and Angolan roots, IAMDDB, real name Diana Debrito, has taken inspiration from samba, Bob Marley, Nat King Cole and her stint playing with bands in Africa while visiting her dad. Since that trip she’s attended uni and dropped out, worked at River Island and Selfridges, but she’s finally found her calling. “Each and every one of us has that little glimpse of hope and as long as you have that, you’re alright,” she explains. “You just have to keep pushing through the bullshit.”
