Somi (born June 6, 1981) is an American singer and songwriter of Rwandan and Ugandan descent.
Somi was born in Champaign, Illinois, while her father was completing post-doctoral studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. When Somi was three years old, her family then moved to Ndola, Zambia, while her father worked for the World Health Organization. In the late 1980s when her father became a professor at the University of Illinois, they returned to Champaign, where Somi spent the rest of her childhood. She attended both University Laboratory High School and Champaign Central High School, and earned her undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and African Studies from the University of Illinois. She also holds a Master's degree from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in Performance Studies.
Armed with savvy business acumen, Somi mostly built her career independently while developing an original and hybrid sound she calls “New African Jazz”. In 2007, SanaaHouse Productions licensed Somi's Red Soil In My Eyes to the Harmonia Mundi/World Village label for her first international distribution deal. The record received wide critical acclaim with the hit single "Ingele" that maintained a Top 10 position on U.S. World Music Charts for several months.

[Twitter] ► https://twitter.com/ONCExTWICE09 TWICE (트와이스) x Somi (I.O.I) - 【Moments Compilation】 I've made this since TWICE and Somi were friends since SIXTEEN and Somi has been spotted to be cheering for TWICE each time they got No.1 on charts (and also because they were on the same show).

Hear the entire session and interview: bit.ly/1AUCffe After her father died, Somi decided to spend 18 months in Nigeria, seeking out the cultural vibrancy of Lagos, which she has said reminded her of the creative energy of New York. While there, she maintained a journal, recorded sounds, and collected musical ideas on a pocket digital voice recorder. Once she returned home to New York, those sketches became the backbone for her latest album, The Lagos Music Salon. Throughout Lagos, Somi's songs touch on American jazz, African rhythms and R&B;, especially as she updates songs from Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti ("Lady Revisited") and soul singer Nina Simone ("Four African Women") with themes of global politics and social activism, and the struggles and strength of women in Africa.

True Story
Everything That I Wanted, I Found It In You
Everything That I Dreamed of, You Made It Came True
Knew That There Were No Limits To What You Would Do for Me
But I Messed That Up Now
For a Night of Fun
What the Hell Was I Thinking?
Damn I Was Dumb, Had Too Much To Drink and
Now I'm Stuck With the Look On My Face of Disgrace
And I'm Feeling Like a Fool.
My Momma Told Me Everything That Glitters Ain't Gold
And If You Find a Good Woman Then
Baby Boy You Better Hold On
But I'm Weak Like Adam To Eve
I'm Down On My Knees
And Baby I Know
I Know That Sorry Doesn't Cut It
(I Refuse) To Let You Take Away Yo Loving
(I Refuse) Without You Babygirl I'm Nothing
(I Refuse) Tell Me What I Gotta Do
To Make Things Back Right With You
Because Sorry Is Not Enuff
I Know That Sorry Doesn't Cut It
(I Refuse) To Let You Take Away Yo Loving
(I Refuse) Without You Babygirl I'm Nothing
(I Refuse) Tell Me What I Gotta Do
To Make Things Back Right With You
Listen!
Baby, Ever Since You've Been Gone
Everything's So Wrong, It Ain't Right
And Lately, I Ain't Finished No Songs
It's Like My Minds Is So Gone and I
All I Do Is Sit Here and Think About How I'm a Get My Baby Back
Damn Sammie You Done Messed Up Now
Gotta Fix It Up, Quick, Fast, Somehow
I Had Fun for One Night
But I Never Thought It'd Mess Up My Life
My Momma Said...
My Momma Told Me Everything That Glitters Ain't Gold
If You Find a Good Woman Then Baby Boy You Better Hold On
But I'm Weak, Like Adam Was to Eve
I'm Down On Bended Knees
Baby, I know...
I Know That Sorry Doesn't Cut It
(I Refuse) To Let You Take Away Yo Loving
(I Refuse) Without You Babygirl I'm Nothing
(I Refuse) Tell Me What I Gotta Do
To Make Things Back Right With You
Because Sorry Is Not Enuff
I Know That Sorry Doesn't Cut It
(I Refuse) To Let You Take Away Yo Loving
(I Refuse) Without You Babygirl I'm Nothing
(I Refuse) Tell Me What I Gotta Do
To Make Things Back Right With You
Sorry Don't Cut It, Sorry Don't Cut It (No More),
Sorry Don't Cut It, Sorry Don't Cut It (No No)
