Yasmin Umay

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 a mix of her musical influences, offering listeners a personal insight into her creative world. She will be accompanied by Tim Granbacka on keys and synths, renowned for his work with the eclectic Cassetteheadsession in Berlin, and Manuel Husseini on drums. Both are exceptionally talented artists, known for their versatility across jazz, hip-hop, and a wide range of genres.
