Biography
Sampa the Great—born Sampa Tembo on August 9, 1993 in Zambia—is a singer, rapper, and songwriter who spent the better part of a decade between Australia and her home country, building a dual-continent career. Her debut solo album, The Return, dropped in September 2019 and peaked at No. 12 on the ARIA Albums Chart. At the 2019 ARIA Music Awards she won Best Hip Hop Release for her second single, "Final Form"; she repeated the category win in 2020, also taking Best Female Artist and Best Independent Release. In March 2020 Sampa became the first artist to win the Australian Music Prize twice: once for Birds and the Bee9 (November 2017) and again for The Return. She relocated back to Zambia in late 2020 and issued her second studio album, As Above, So Below, in September 2022. As a poet and songwriter, she works across rap, singing, and lyricism. Born a Capricorn, she carries a Life Path 6 numerology associated with harmony and service—traits that echo in her navigation between continents and her commitment to home. A Zambian citizen, she emerged from the Southern African hip-hop landscape and reshaped it internationally.
