In this full interview Sandwell's own Lumi HD discusses her life as a singer songwriter and performing artist in the West Midlands. Lumi discovered her voice in her teenage years by chance at church, when she was informed they needed an Alto for the Church Choir and was sent home to practice. Despite being shy and running away after finishing her early solos, Lumi persevered and developed a love of music as she was encouraged to keep going. After studying popular music at the Wolverhampton University Lumi travelled playing a variety of gigs and recalls a jazz festival she played at in Norway.

When Lumi became a Mother her relationship with music changed and she realised her love for it went far beyond short term fame and she now finds the most meaningful gigs are the ones she plays closer to home in the region. She believes Midlands audiences are uniquely warm and family friendly and believes this could be the key to encouraging more talent to develop in the West Midlands and attract investment into the region. Lumi outlines if we continue to encourage creativity in each other, connect and share opportunities we may finally be able to step into the spotlight and let the world see who we are.
