SOHMI
Genre: House
Origin: United States
Watching SOHMI take control of the decks and effortlessly command the attention of thousands of people at venues like the Brooklyn Mirage, you can’t help but understand right away there’s something special about her.
And while being thrust in front of such high-stakes situations and crowds might cause panic for some, for the Korean American DJ, producer, and vocalist – who is a classically trained pianist and graduate of theater studies – being on stage is where she’s always felt most at home. So if there’s a naturalness with which she graces all her efforts, be they in the studio or on stage, that’s because she was unquestionably meant to be here: creating – through her enchanting blend of minimal techno, house, R&B, and her own pop-inspired vocals – rousing emotional experiences for both the dance floor and the soul.
With early co-signs from the biggest names in the industry including BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard, Yotto, Booka Shade and Hot Since 82, SOHMI is quite simply a feeling you must believe in.
All you have to do is witness her in action to believe, too.
