Up-and-coming Doncaster musician to launch first EP

Rumbi Tauro has been singing all of her life but decided that this year she was going to put out an EP.

The 23-year-old from Intake, said: “I have been singing in Doncaster for years.

“In pubs such as The Salutation and Otto's Wine Bar.

“But I have been singing covers or acoustic versions of songs.

“I really want to take the next step and release my own music.”

Rumbi is releasing a four track EP on July 24 named ‘The Process.’

The songs fall under the R&B category with Soul influence.

“The cover of the EP is a butterfly against a broken background,” Rumbi said.

“It’s symbolic as I see the butterfly as something perfect and symmetrical.

“But the background is jagged, so it’s a juxtaposition.

“This message is reflected in the music as it follows a journey of self-discovery.”

Rumbi says that the tracks take the listeners through a story.

From a tale of uncertainty to self-love and reflection.

“The EP starts with a song about not knowing where you are in your life and then moves on to figuring out what you need and breaking out of the metaphorical chrysalis,” she said.

“The last song ‘Don’t Bother Me’ explores finding yourself and how beautiful that can be.”

Rumbi recorded this EP in her bedroom due to the coronavirus.

She had plans to work in a studio but managed to produce her music despite the difficulties.

She said: “Thanks to social media I have been able to work with people in London and LA.

“I never pictured doing it this way but I have been singing my whole life and I’m excited to share my music.”

Rumbi recently performed at the Black Lives Matter protest in Doncaster.

She said: “It was a really special moment to sing for over 1,000 people.

“I was honoured to use my gift to express my story and the story of so many others.”

The EP will be available to stream on most platforms including Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Google Play.
