UM! (Umi Defoort) is a Brussels-based producer and musician with Japanese roots. Drawing from classical, jazz, and hip-hop, he creates a sound that defies genres. Known for his live work with Zwangere Guy, he released his solo debut UM! in 2020, featuring Peet, Chibi Ichigo, Glints, and Jazz Brak. Since then, he’s toured Belgium, the Netherlands, and Japan, and played major festivals. His second solo album, coming in March 2026, is more electronic, more danceable, and a chance for him to explore his sound further live with his own band.
