BT and Ferrari sit down with singer-songwriter UMI for a candid conversation about her journey from Seattle to Los Angeles, attending USC on a full scholarship, and making the bold decision to drop out after signing a record deal. UMI shares how she built her career from dorm room recordings to building a loyal “UMIverse” of fans, her meditative approach to music, and the inspiration behind her upcoming album People Stories. With authenticity and heart, UMI opens up about her artistry, mental health practices, and why she creates music based on her fans’ real-life experiences.
