Umbayee (ഉമ്പായി) is an Indian folk musician and composer, associated with the Ghazal genre. Born in Mattancherry, Kerala. Umbayee is known for his unique style of singing.〔("...GHAZALS and GRIT" ), ''The Hindu'', 22 September 2012. Accessed 8 December 2013〕 ==Early years== As a child Umbayee did not have a supportive environment towards music. His father was vehemently opposed to his son being inclined to music. Ultimately Umbayee failed in his exams thereby ending the school life of 'Ibrahim'. Seeing his son distracted by music, father packed 'Ibrahim' off to Bombay (now Mumbai) where his (Umbayee's) uncle was a seaman and made him a trainee electrician. Being sent to Bombay was a decision which changed his life. He met Ustad Munawar Ali Khan who accepted Ibrahim as his disciple. Ibrahim studied music from Ustad for about 7 years without any interruption. Ibrahim financed his trips in between to Mattancherry through 'small scale smuggling'. His goods were watches, perfumes and such stuff in return for US dollars. Once after his return to Mumbai, he found out that Ustad left the city. Umbayee used to sing in a hotel for years during his initial periods of life. A waiter in the hotel influenced Umbayee to meet Venu V. Desom. It was after this meeting Umbayee's first album 'Pranamam' came out. Also he worked as a laundry Manager. Umbayee used to play Tabla for Mehboob and also sang occasionally. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Umbayee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
