Band profile

Rock and folk. Made in Kochi.

Formed in Kochi in 2019, Urumi brings rock and folk together in a multilingual live set. Shikha Prabhakaran and Faisal Razi lead a six-piece band whose music moves between Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Arabic and Urdu — from college festivals and clubs to corporate events and private celebrations across India and abroad.

Co-founders Shikha Prabhakaran and Faisal Razi lead the vocals, with Kiran Raj on guitar, Arjun Mohan PC on bass, Sanjai Arakkal on keyboards and Nithin Joseph on drums.
