We had the good fortune of connecting with Umar Alim and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Umar, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I’m inspired by fellow artist & making ideas come to life.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a artist, songwriter, & producer…I’ve had a passion for making music since a kid, my grandfather played the violin in an orchestra….I got to where I’m at today not taking no for an answer & stepping out of my comfort zone.
it was far from easy but my passion and belief in my self kept me going.
the lessons I learned along the way was to stay working & to continue to make great relationships.
I want the world to know anything is possible as long as your willing to put in the work

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would go to eat at the big easy downtown Trenton,New Jersey or at the table 2
hang out in New York or Philly

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to recognize my uncle out of the 90’s Trenton Hip Hop Group ” Blvd Mosse ” for being my ears…dj Plexx & Dj Juice for believing in me early on & every engineer, & producer I’ve worked with over the years.
