After contributing to Richard Russell's Everything Is Recorded project, Umoh readied more solo material, releasing his four-song EP Bassey in 2017 and finally delivering a full-length debut in 2022 with the critically lauded Some Nights I Dream of Doors. A year later he was featured on Fred again..'s infectious hit "Adore You," and released several singles of his own, including 2024's "Just My Luck."
