Adeline Um

My name is Adeline Um and I am a Korean American singer songwriter who started my music journey as a Berklee City Music scholar.

Here are some of my most notable performances. From my early days with Berklee City Music, I performed the National Anthem at Fenway Park and the TD Garden. I also performed at the Grammy museum in LA for artists such as Lalah Hathaway. This past October, I went on a Sofar Sounds Tour along the East Coast, my most notable performance at the House of Blues Chicago. I have signed my music to independent labels such as Lowly Palace, LoudKult, Tribal Trap, and Magic Music and I’ve received over 1 million plays on Soundcloud. I have been recognized by the Rolling Stone India, BBC UK Introducing, and I placed as a finalist in the top 2% in UKSC.

I believe that my unique sound and honest writing is what ultimately draws listeners in, I write about real and vulnerable experiences, often with my mental health journey and day to day challenges. I do my best to connect with my audience by creating a platform that allows individuals to feel comfortable about sharing their own challenges too. I have graduated with an MA in Social Anthropology and Psychology from the University of St. Andrews and I am continuing to combine my love for people and culture with music. My main goal in life as a musician is to create a greater space for Asians in the music industry.
