Florence Kasumba was born in Kampala, grew up in Essen, studied in the Netherlands and lives in Berlin. She speaks three languages fluently – German, English, and Dutch.
While earning her degree in acting, singing, and dancing from the Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, she landed her first film role, Silke, in the Dutch motion picture hit Ik ook van Jou.
After graduating, she performed in musicals, such as Chicago, Cats, West Side Story, Evita, Crazy for You, Mamma Mia and Jesus Christ Superstar. In 2003, Florence was cast in Germany’s premiere production of the Disney musical Aida in the title role. A few years later, she played Shenzi in the German musical production of Disney’s The Lion King.
Her film and TV credits include: Deutschland 86 + 89, The Lion King, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Black Panther – Wakanda Forever and many more.
Florence’s latest work includes: Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire, Tatort – Die kälteste Maschine, Mamma Mia and Hameln
Next to her work as an actress, Florence’s passion lies in martial arts, like Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi Chen, Tai Chi Yang, and Qi Gong.
