Vorlage:Infobox musical artist Sabina Margrit Sciubba (born 23 February 1975)[1] or Sabina is a singer, composer, and actress. She is best known as the lead singer for the Grammy-nominated[2] electronica band Brazilian Girls. She is also a visual artist.[3][4] She has a solo career, and also worked as an actress, appearing in a recurring role on the FX series Baskets, beginning in 2016. Sciubba has composed the scores for several feature films and commercials.

Early life

Sabina was born in Rome to a German mother and an Italian father.[5][6] She lived there until age 5, then moved to Germany with her mother, painter Hannelore Jüterbock,[7] and her brother, Christian, where she grew up in Berg, Upper Bavaria.[8] After living in Italy, Germany and France, Sciubba later lived in New York from 1999-2009, before returning to France.[9] She has commented on her childhood: "I grew up singing to trees, donkeys, sheep and horses, so I suppose there isn't an audience I'm not prepared for."[10] Sciubba is perfectly fluent in six languages: German, Italian, French, English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Career

Brazilian Girls

Sabina is best known as the frontwoman for the band Brazilian Girls. She is known for her unique voice and her signature multilingual storytelling.[11] She has also been called 'enigmatic'[12] and is noted for her sense of fashion, wearing theatrical outfits[13] often made by herself or by her fashion-designer friends threeasfour,[14] Carolina K,[15] and Gemma Kahng.[16] In 2008 Sabina composed and sang the songs "Bring Back the Love" and "Os Novos Yorkinos" for Bebel Gilberto's album Momento.[17] In 2009, Brazilian Girls were nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Dance Recording category, but lost out to the band Daft Punk.[18] In 2009 Sabina and Brazilian Girls member Didi Gutman wrote and produced singer Baaba Maal's album Television, released on Palm Pictures.[19]

Solo career

Her solo record, called Toujours, was released on February 18, 2014 on Bar None Records[20] and Naim Edge, UK on March 23, 2014. Sabina's album was welcomed with overwhelmingly positive reviews.[21] The Boston Globe reviewer Rebecca Ostriker calls Sabina "a goddess".[22] Jon Pareles from the New York Times describes her as nonchalant, elusive, sophisticated and resolutely hedonistic.[23] Allmusic says "Toujours is an album of true originality, executed with humor, warmth, and spark, and captivating from beginning to end."[24] Q magazine calls it "A thoughtful solo debut", Uncut calls Sabina "A Dietrich pour nos jours".[25] In 2009 Sciubba records the song 'Silence is golden' on Forro in the Dark's album 'Light a candle'.[26] In 2011, Sciubba sings at the Lincoln Center, premiering 'Goldkind', a musical fairytale composed by Sciubba and Anthony Korf, accompanied by Riverside Symphony.[27] She also composes and sings on Pretty Good Dance Moves's 2012 album Limo.[28] On the collaboration project with Big Gigantic in 2012, she appears on the track "Love Letters".[29]

Sabina has composed musical scores for a number of films, including The Party's Over (with Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Forty Shades of Blue, amongst others.

Acting

Beginning in 2016, Sciubba appears alongside Zach Galifianakis as Penelope in the television comedy series Baskets on FX.[30]

Video work

Sabina released a self-produced video for her single 'Toujours' in 2013.[31] She also made a series of short animated films, which she named Minifilms, which are political comments on human behaviour.

In early April 2014, renowned British artist Oliver Clegg creates a video for and with Sabina for the single 'Viva l'amour'. The video consists of thousands of hand-drawn images of Sabina.[32]
