Yumi

A self-procalimed nomad, Yumi was born in Brooklyn, raised in Dallas, and is now walking the streets of New York once again. As an apprentice of early hip-hop, Yumi was swayed to its rhythm and quickly found her love for it. She has the tenacity, ability, and drive to bring women's hip-hop back to the most sought after award in music - The Grammy. "I'm going to be what we [women] haven't been in a very long while - leaders." Derived from African-American, Japanese, and Native American descent, Yumi has a distinctive sound and look that cannot be replicated. Her credentials in the music industry include a plethora of artists and producers - some of which include Easy Mo B (legendary producer for Notorious BIG, Tupac and Miles Davis) and the RZA (producer and member of Wu-Tang Clan). Yumi can currently be heard at various open mics around New York and is working on her next album.
