Lubamba was born in Florence to parents from Kinshasa. She studied in a Piarists College and in 1992 was elected Miss Toscana. After some years as a model, and with minor roles in TV shows, she became Letterina ("Letter-carrier") in Canale 5's Passaparola. She later participated in the Italian version of The Farm.
In 1998 she began her television career in the program Guida al campionato with Alberto Brandi.
