UMI has been played on NTS in shows including BRWN w/ Ahwlee & Pink Siifu, featured first on 10 November 2018. Songs played include Remember Me, That's On You (Japanese Remix) and Runnin'.

UMI is a Seattle native pioneering a new sound rooted in R&B and alternative neo-soul - she calls it Bedroom R&B. Her artistry manifests itself through her honest lyrics, sultry melodies, and quirky perspective which gives listeners a personal connection to UMI and her music.

The laid-back energy of her lo-fi sound is a reflection of her personality - unique and nostalgic. Currently living in Los Angeles, UMI continues to create genre-bending music that captivates and inspires listeners.

“I hope that the relatability of my lyrics can be comforting to people who realize their worries and problems are universal. I want them to know that they’re not alone.”
