Yasmin Umay

In the artist's words:

Yasmin is a Berlin-based vocalist whose music seamlessly blends contemporary sounds with a deep love for the golden eras of 90s R&B and Hip-Hop, alongside influences from R'n'B, Neo Soul and Jazz. Starting her songwriting journey at the age of 13, she has since performed across Germany, France, Switzerland, and Mexico.

Her unique style is shaped by her multicultural upbringing, navigating between German and Turkish cultures, which gives her a broad and diverse perspective. Drawing inspiration from musical icons like Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def, and J.Dilla, Yasmin's sound is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Her first EP 'Circles' is a powerful exploration of repeating life patterns and the personal growth that comes from breaking free of them.

A resident of Refuge Worldwide, Yasmin hosts her own radio show, Geminithingz, where she curates an eclectic mix of her influences, offering listeners a personal insight into her creative world. Her performance credits span renowned venues like Soho House Berlin and festivals such as Feel Festival and Reeperbahn Festival. She has been showcased on ARTE Live, further establishing her as a rising artist in the music scene.
