Samantha Tamanya Anne Cecelia Mumba Wiki Biography
Samantha Tamania Anne Cecilia Mumba, born on the 18th of January, 1983, is an Irish singer who became famous for her song “Gotta Tell You” that was released in 2000. She is also an actress particularly known for her appearance in the movie “The Time Machine”.
So how much is Mumba’s net worth? As of mid-2017, based on authoritative sources it is reported to be over $5 million, acquired from her years as a singer and actress, and endorser of various brands, during a career which began in the late 1990s.
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Mumba is the daughter of Barbara, who is Irish, and Peter Mumba, who is originally from Zambia. She got into the show business at a very early age when she joined “Let Me Entertain You”, the TV talent show in which she was spotted by Louis Walsh, a music executive, who signed her to Polydor Records.
Right after being signed, Mumba decided to quit school and dedicated her time to co-writing and recording her debut album “Gotta Tell You”. In 2000, the album was released and her first single with the same title topped the charts in Ireland, and also infiltrated the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. Even the single “Baby, Come Over” from the same album became a hi, and the album was certified platinum after selling over a million copies. This success immediately catapulted her to fame and tremendously increased her net worth.
In 2001, Mumba collaborated with Celtic Tenors for the track “You Raise Me Up”. Later that year, she also released a Christmas album “Samantha Sings Christmas”, meantime deciding to venture into films, and was cast in the movie “The Time Machine” in 2001, playing the role of Mara alongside Guy Pearce and her real-life brother Omero. The movie became a box office hit and was even nominated in the Academy Awards for Best Makeup. Her other endeavors and collaborations also helped in her wealth.
In 2002, Mumba came back to music and released the single entitled “I’m Right Here”. Although the song made waves in the charts, it failed to reach the success of her previous singles. She also collaborated with Filipino artist Jay R in the song “Just the Way You Are” in 2005, and then released a compilation album in 2006 entitled “The Collection”.
During the early 2000s, Mumba also became more active in films; some of the movies she appeared in included “Spin the Bottle”, “Boy Eats Girl”, “Johnny Was”, and “Shifter”. She also became a brand ambassador for Dior, Louise Kennedy and Ultimo Per Amore. Her progressing career in acting, singing and product endorsements also increased her net worth.
In 2009, Mumba hinted the release of her second album on the following year, however, she failed to follow up “Gotta Tell You”, and in 2011 indicated that she’d be retiring from music to focus on her acting career. However, in 2013 Mumba released a statement on Twitter that she was back in the music scene with plans of releasing a new album, and in 2014, she also released a new single entitled “Only Just Began”.
In terms of her personal life, Mumba has been married to policeman Torray Sales since 2012, and they have a daughter named Sage.
