Amelle Sousa Berrabah was born on 22 April 1984 in Aldershot, Hampshire to Catholic Moroccan parents.

[6] Berrabah attended The Connaught School in Aldershot and the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, the latter on the merit of a scholarship.

[7] She won Top of the Pops magazine's Star Search in 2003 that gave her the chance to be the lead singer of a new group and had performed at Party in the Park as well.

As soon as Buena left, he gave Berrabah a call about the opportunity and got her to record three songs to audition for remaining members Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range.

[5] Despite announcing a break after the Change tour, the group quickly began working on Catfights and Spotlights, which was released in late 2008 and became their lowest charting album at the time.

Prior to shooting the video for the second single, RedOne production "About a Girl", Berrabah was rumoured to have left the group.

It was later revealed that in fact Buchanan had been removed due to disagreements with Berrabah and Range, and replaced by Jade Ewen.

Berrabah and Range had earlier quit the Sugababes claiming that they could not work in the group any longer, their management then retained them and removed Buchanan instead.

[12][13] Following these events, Berrabah checked into a European health clinic for a three-week stay, citing "severe nervous exhaustion".

[20] A clip of the song "God Won't Save You Now" was posted to the SoundCloud account of Kirtley and fellow producer Sacha Collisson, who are collectively known as D-B-X.

[30] In January 2022, Berrabah was announced as the presenter of the late show on Milton Keynes radio station MKFM.
