Umali is passionate about music and tells it all that he makes music inspired by real life experiences and things that happen around him.
“My hope is that people find themselves in my music and get to relate on a personal level,” he said.
His manager Stanley Chiyora said, every year, the artist holds Before April concerts in March and that this is the third edition.
“Before April, we have the third edition and, so, he is using this show as a soft launch for the new album which I am sure people will embrace looking at the songs that are wrapped in the project,” Chiyora said.
