UMX

UMX (Umar Mukhtar) is a defiant interdisciplinary artist from Kashmir, emerging as a versatile voice in the region's contemporary art scene. As a Rapper, Singer-Songwriter, Composer, and Visual Artist, UMX creates a unique blend of artistic expressions.

A flagship representative for South Kashmir in the ‘KHH’ scene, UMX was raised in Vejibyor (Bijbehara). He bridges peri-urban narratives with mainstream appeal, delivering sophisticated lyricism in Koshur, Urdu, and English. His genre-bending sound spans Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, and Electronic landscapes.

His journey is defined by resilience. Rising from an orthodox home devoid of musical influence, he is a self-taught force who carved his own path despite cultural challenges. Beyond his solo career, he is the founder of Krhyme Co., actively shaping the future of art and sound in the Valley.
