Girl of the world

In the 1990s, Spain experienced a huge cultural and musical wave. Spanish territory became a source of inspiration for many Anglo-Saxon artists. Music producers Cameron McVey and Neneh Cherry were among them. As well as finding a creative refuge in Spain, they also found the perfect excuse to start a family.

Thus, the musical couple fell in love with the Spanish territory, and on February 20, 1996, they welcomed their daughter Mabel Alabama Pearl McVey in Alhaurín el Grande, Málaga. Growing up in an environment of musical influence and stimulation, Mabel became interested in the arts, particularly music, at an early age.

Mabel moved to Sweden at the age of three due to her parents’ fast pace of life. With her parents’ help, the singer embarked on a wonderful journey towards music. Mabel learned to play various instruments in Stockholm, including the piano. Additionally, she took private music and singing lessons.
