Y.U.M The Beginning
Y.U.M was born Iris J. Duran, Jocelyn Duran, and Denise Duran in Spanish Harlem to Julio and Iris Duran. The tragic heart operation from their mother forced her to stay home while Julio Duran worked two jobs to provide the best opportunities for his wife and five daughters. During the day, he worked as an electrician and in the evenings and weekends he played the congas for “El Sonero Majorâ€, the famous salsa band of Jose Alberto “El Canarioâ€. Y.U.M attended catholic school up to the 8th grade but difficult financial times forced them to go to public school during their high school days.
Y.U.M’s mother; Iris, founded The Duran Dance Academy to keep her five daughters busy after school and on weekends. The school; still open as of today, taught young kids in the community how to dance merengue, salsa, hip-hop, step, and jazz. As the school’s reputation and popularity increased famous artist and shows such as Celia Cruz, The Barrio Boyzz, DLG, Charlie Cruz, ProjectoUno, Cristina Show, Paulina Rubio, Tito Nieves, Sabado Al Medio Dia, and Frank Niddy began contracting the Duran sisters to perform as their stage dancers across the country and/or to appear on their videos, special shows, and events. Y.U.M winning in a BET audition competition at the Apollo Theater was contracted to be the first reggeaton group artists to sign to President Bill Clinton and seven other world leaders in the 2000 G8 Summit in Okinawa, Japan.
Y.U.M The Group With their roots in Spanish Harlem and the roots of their talent stemming from their parents, Y.U.M an all-in-one package with talent in the areas of rapping, singing, dancing, and performing. Bilingual, they posses the ability to sing in Spanish, English, or a mix of both languages. Their very active childhood has leaded them to possess a well toned figure which captures their audience attention when they perform. Their friendly nature on stage allows them to be accepted by children and adults of all ages and genders.
Y.U.M’s local hit single “Chocolate†is currently ranked #1 on the radio station WPRX “La Puertorriquenisima†in Puerto Rico and Connecticut. This song is a reggeaton remix of the famous Iris Chacon’s 80’s hit “Si tu boquita fuera de chocolateâ€. The song; immediately accepted by listeners, shows potential of possibly going international due to it’s the three beautiful caramel/chocolate singers and it’s amazing acceptance worldwide in the past. At a festival in Chelsea Piers, New York, where Y.U.M sang “Chocolate†for the first time, even an 85 year old lady sitting in a beach chair in front of the stage learned the chorus and sang it along with the crowd. Afterwards, Y.U.M received the loudest applause heard that entire day. Their other songs titles are: Number One, Ahorra Me Toca A Mi, Push It, Sit u Sabes, and Dingaling.
In conclusion, there is no better time to sign a group of the history and preparation of Y.U.M. Now is the time since there are no female group artists in existence in the reggeaton industry giving Y.U.M the potential of becoming “The First Female Group in Reggeatonâ€, “The First Sisters in Reggeatonâ€, and becoming the first “Caramel colored female artists in reggeatonâ€Y.U.M Contact Information
