Sumi X, an artist based in Los Angeles, is dedicated to crafting pop music for like-minded dreamers who embrace boundless possibilities and seek to live authentically. Following her successful departure from a tech venture she established in college, Sumi resolved to pursue her lifelong ambition of becoming a singer, songwriter, and performer. Relocating to LA in late 2021 marked a pivotal transition in her journey. In the spring of 2023, she unveiled her inaugural single ‘Electric Baby’, which garnered fervent acclaim. Drawing from a diverse array of influences – from Jon Coltrane to James Blake and from Pink to Pink Floyd – Sumi X aspires to redefine the landscape of American pop music in 2023 and the years ahead.
