Her father being always on the road, Yummy grew up with her mother until age 10 when she was taken away due to allegation of abuses. She was put into her grandparents care in South Jamaica, Queens, New York. Because of the living conditions she was under with her mother, and going through custody battles and being pulled left and right by her family, it caused her to become an impulsive type person experiencing a tumultuous few years as a wild child, from 10 to 14 http://www.rapcommunity.de/board/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=3&t=7379. At 15, her father and stepmother got her again. Bingham moved to Dix Hills, New York
on Long Island
, and started to enjoy stability.
Bingham wrote and recorded her first demo at 12 with her father. They shopped the demo for a couple of month, and by the time of 2000, KayGee [from Naughty By Nature] was the only one interested in making something out of her. Around the same time, a producer her father was mentoring, Supa Dave West called her to record a song with De La Soul for the Osmosis Jones movie. It was the beginning of a long series of collaborations establishing Bingham as De La Soul's appointed vocalist.
In 2000, KayGee recruited her for his new girl group, Tha' Rayne
and get them signed by Arista
in 2001. The group provided vocals for acts such as Boyz II Men
, Queen Latifah
, Next

" (2003), produced by Rich Harrison
. Their debut album Reign Supreme was expected for a March 2004 release but Arista folded in January and Tha' Rayne split up.
As soon as 2003, besides working with the group, Yummy Bingham started to sometimes strike out from the group to record hooks and background vocals for artists such as De La Soul
, Talib Kweli
, Black Sheep
or Lupe Fiasco
.
, Dre & Vidal
, The Buchanans, or Jimi Kendrix, collaborating lyrically and vocally to artists like Tarralyn Ramsey, Amerie
, Crystal Kay

. They started working together on songs for other artists: Destiny's Child
, Mya, Syleena Johnson
, Mary J. Blige
, JC Chasez or Busta Rhymes
to name a few. Rockwilder offered Bingham to become a part of owning his record company Muzik Park, serving there as a signed artist as well as co-CEO, and making her one of the youngest female executive. At age 18 she became the youngest female CEO of a major-affiliated label ] and the youngest female record executive.
In 2004, Bingham was signed by Sylvia Rhone
to Motown Records. Bingham was dubbed "the new princess of Motown". Her street single Come Get It (featuring Jadakiss
) popped up first as a mixtape single and a digital single (released May 2005) but it was quickly embraced by the mainstream audiences so Rhone decided to give it a video and a radio impact in August 2005. The single turned into a moderate hit in the USA. As soon as October, the song was used in a Pontiac
commercial. Also in 2005, Yummy's song "I'm Caught Up" debuted in the hit movie Beauty Shop
starring Queen Latifah
.
The following to "Come Get It" was the song Is It Good To You originally intended for Destiny's Child
and produced by Rockwilder. The single was ready to hit the radios in March 2006, but radio DJs didn't pick out the tune, so Motown quickly decided to change the single to One More Chance which impacted US radios on April 24. The single failed to chart but it beneficed of a good buzz among the Urban UK community, making it staying 5 weeks at #2 on the BBC 1xtra R&B Charts (based on the 12" vinyl sales in the UK). It came to the attention of Island Record Group (Motown's parent company in the UK) who selected Bingham for a UK release.
She was introduced to the English audience in late August as one of the new revelations of the 2006 Notting Hill Carnival
. During the Carnival, Yummy's Come Get It emerged on different music channels and she showcased the single live at BBC 1Xtra's high profile Carnival Afterparty. The video has been everywhere on the UK music channels but disappeared as quick as it surfaced. When the single hit the stores on October 2, the buzz was over. Bad distribution and a too early digital UK release (June 12) made the single only charting #82 on the UK singles charts and #38 on the UK R&B Charts.
Yummy's debut album The First Seed was released in the UK on October 9. Yummy's second UK single One More Chance was edited as a promo single in November 2006 and originally announced for a December 11 release.
