Umaria's first love

Umaria's first love Featured

Umaria... the power packed vibrant female voice that thrills the listener's soul and leaves them spellbound.

UmariaShe, along with Indrachapa Liyanage, as well as Kasun Kalhara, Rookantha Gunathilaka and Nadeeka Jayawardena will be singing at 'Love U', this valentine’s day at the Nelum Pokuna, Colombo from 7pm onwards.

With just over 24 hours before the much anticipated concert, ‘Sri Lanka Mirror’, caught up with Umaria for a quick chat.

Hello! Thank you for your time. How is life and work these days?

Releasing one of my new songs next week. Also, reviewed 'Krishna' of Colonial Cousins which is getting a lot of positive feedback... Going for concerts... With all that, life is busy.

You are known for the unique sense of fashion you portray onstage. Who is behind uniqueness?

It's mostly me actually. If it is a huge event, me and my mother get together and design what I wear. My aunt too, pitches in at time.

What do you think of music?
Music is an universal language. It is my passion. It would be more correct to say that music is my first love.

How do you feel about joining the 'Love U' concert?
Very happy. Others in the concert are much senior performers than myself and so talented. I am very happy to do a show in collaboration with such a group.

What happens at this concert on Valentine's Day?
We will sing in the 'lilac evening at the garden of Eden'. It will be beautiful. I invite all to join us there.
