Yumi Zouma

Yumi Zouma is an indie pop band that originated from Christchurch, New Zealand, and has cultivated a global audience for its breezy and engaging sound. Formed in 2013, the band consists of Christie Simpson (vocals), Charlie Ryder (guitar, bass, keyboards), Josh Burgess (guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals), and Olivia Campion (drums). Despite the members being spread across different locations including New York and Paris, they've successfully harnessed the power of the internet to collaborate and create their music, which often elicits a sense of nostalgia blended with modern dream-pop aesthetics.

Over the years, Yumi Zouma has earned critical acclaim for their ability to weave lush soundscapes with catchy melodies, creating a soundtrack that feels both intimate and expansive. With releases like "EP IV"—their fourth installment of their EP series—the band continues to showcase their evolution in the indie music scene. Their tracks "be okay" and "KPR" add to their rich catalogue, featuring infectious hooks and an air of effortless cool. Through reworkings like "Moments in Between (Yumi Zouma Version)" and "Back To The End (Yumi Zouma Remix)," they've also demonstrated a penchant for reinterpretation, infusing familiar songs with their unique sonic signature. While singles like "Astral Projection" and "Where The Light Used To Lay" further exhibit the band's gift for crafting emotive and atmospheric pop gems that resonate with fans across the globe.
