Seinabo Sey (born 7 October 1990) is a Swedish singer best known for her international hit song "Younger". 　　Seinabo Sey was born in Sdermalm, Stockholm, on 7 October 1990. She is of both Swedish and Gambian ancestry. She moved to Halmstad, Sweden, at the age of eight, and attended ?sterg?rdsskolans music program for musically gifted teenagers. 　　Sey was inspired musically by artists such as Alicia Keys and Beyoncé early in life. She grew up in Halmstad, Sweden, surrounded by artistry and creativity. Her father Maudo Sey was a renowned musician in The Gambia and Senegal, West Africa. Her mother is Swedish. She is half-sister to the artist Fatima Bramme-Sey and the radio host Amie Bramme Sey. In an interview, Sey recalled being nine years old and watching MTV, which led her to become obsessed with music and singing. Sey wanted to study at Yale as an adolescent, being inspired by the character Rory Gilmore on the television show Gilmore Girls. She took academic steps towards that dream, enrolling in an International Baccalaureate program in Halmstad, Sweden, although at the age of 16 she ended up changing course, moving to Stockholm to attend and later graduate from Fryshusets esthetics program with a concentration in soul music. 　　In an interview Sey noted: "I was really academically tracked... I loved to sing but I could never fathom singing by myself. I tried to push away the whole music dream and thought I had to do something more in line with that, like becoming a lawyer or something, until I was around sixteen. But then I realised I couldn't really live in that small town so I moved to Stockholm and started music school".
