About Me

..Allow me to introduce you to U’mau.I’m a London-based, female singer/songwriter/composer. Roots: Nigeria. My sound and message are an amalgamation of the various cultures, experiences and thoughts that life has imprinted on/in me. A fair description of my work would be a fusion of Folk, Jazz and World Music. Music has always been a passion of mine; the warmer the sound, the better. I enjoy the creation process immensely and have written noteworthy pieces for stage, TV and radio and other artistes’ performance and recording repertoire. All spanning a wide range of genres. IF YOURE LOOKING FOR A COMPOSER/WRITER/PERFORMER, get on to; [email protected]. Catch me live doing the solo, six-string/vox thing or with my collective du jour. Stay tuned (here and www.umau.com) for developments and support the debut album coming soon.......... Peace & Positive Pulses!

PIGS?

    They ran like barbarians, with clubs in hand. Just like in times pre-dating Homo erectus. Over 13 individuals fell upon the car, banging on the sleek, shiny exterior, angry with my broth...
