UMX (Umar Mukhtar) is a defiant interdisciplinary artist from Kashmir, emerging as a versatile voice in the region's contemporary art scene. As a Rapper, Singer-Songwriter, Composer, and Visual Artist, UMX creates a unique blend of artistic expressions.


A flagship representative for South Kashmir in the ‘KHH’ scene, UMX was raised in Vejibyor (Bijbehara). He bridges peri-urban narratives with mainstream appeal, delivering sophisticated lyricism in Koshur, Urdu, and English. His genre-bending sound spans Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, and Electronic landscapes.
