Living Simply to Create Freely

Yumi Ito’s parents, despite being musicians themselves, tried to dissuade her from following in their footsteps. She did it anyway—but in her own way, allowing her music to reflect her worldviews and Japanese-Polish heritage. 

We discussed: 

• Yumi’s parents’ journey from Poland and Japan to Switzerland
• How Yumi knew she should be a musician
• Battling getting sucked into the capitalist system
• Crossing socio economic divides in childhood
• Why people assume music duos are romantic? 
• Music as a way to connect beyond identities
