A passionate advocate for both established and contemporary repertoire, she enjoys collaborating with living composers and regularly performs newly commissioned works.

From Glasgow, guitarist Shubbe Kabanda is in the final year of her BMus at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Shubbe has been involved in music from an early age, initially as a chorister, influencing her decision to take up drum-kit and guitar, and later receiving cello lessons, which inspired her to progress down the path of a classical musician.

Uncommon for a solo classical instrumentalist, her commitment to playing with various ensembles such as, chamber orchestras, opera singers, a flautist and an oboist, all illustrate her passion and ambition as an ensemble musician. 

Her involvement with RCS’ Contemporary Music Festival, PLUG, conveys her interest in championing new music and exploring the contemporary classical scene. 

In 2023, Shubbe achieved runner-up in Glasgow’s Scottish Young Musician competition and later that year became a Robertson Trust Scholar. She is a Dewar Arts Award recipient supporting her purchase of a 2024 Danilo Bazzana guitar. 

Shubbe also plays electric guitar for her R&B, neo-soul band ‘Rendezvous’, and frequently performs in musical theatre pits, often doubling various types of guitar.
