In the heart of Sarasota's vibrant music scene, only one name appears as both a shout and a whisper. Me Umbra, son of a funk and soul legend, was raised on a diet of great albums that transported listeners to entirely new worlds. His name, meaning "My Shadow," is this dramatist's rebellion against inauthenticity. He once wrote music to please others, hiding his true artistic voice, but now releases unfiltered tracks that are purely for himself. It’s a journey into his deepest emotions, full of flair, melodrama, and complexity. “What even is a persona?” he muses. "What even is a name?" With every performance, he strips away the layers, inviting his audience into a world where every note and lyric is intentional. His live shows are a testament to his legacy, blending his father's soulful influence with his own avant-garde vision. Me Umbra isn't just an artist, but a storyteller, crafting experiences that linger long after the final note fades. - Nicky Fritzgerald
