Cimberly’s grandparents lived in Haparanda, where her grandmother always spoke Finnish to her.
– She understood what I said in Swedish, and I understood what she said in Finnish, but I wish I knew Finnish, but unfortunately I never learned that, says Idol finalist Cimberly.
The father is from Kenya and the mother is Finnish. Cimberly’s Finnish citizenship was given to her by her mother at birth.
– So if I were to do the rag, I would do it in Finland, I have understood, laughs Cimberly.
Do you know if you have any Swedish-Finnish fans?
– I hope I have some Swedish-Finnish fans out there, but I don’t know, at least I have my family, who cheer me on.
