1) Ennik Somi Douma (born March 9, 2001), known by her Korean name Jeon Somi (hangul: 전소미) or mononymously as Somi, is a Korean-Canadian singer based in South Korea, best known for finishing first in Mnet's survival reality program Produce 101 and debuting in girl group I.O.I. She is also a former member of the project girl groups Unnies and Girls Next Door. She is currently a solo artist under The Black Label, a subsidiary of YG. She debuted on June 13, 2019 with the digital single "Birthday".
2) Somi is a U.S. singer and songwriter of African extraction.
Born in Illinois to East African parents, Somi and her six siblings began to shuffle through the life of a diplomat scientist-cum-university professor’s family, thus exposing Somi to stories and music from all over the world. Having lived in Zambia, Kenya, and Tanzania, upon moving to New York City Somi was the featured vocalist in the African Globe Theatre production of Drums under the African Sky. This led to collaborations with Amel Larrieux, Tsidii Le Loka, Roy Hargrove, Lionel Loueke, and Lonnie Plaxico. She gained more attention after being featured in Source Magazine alongside Mos Def and other lyricists involved in a police anti-brutality project entitled Hip-Hop for Respect, and in 2005 she shared a stage with Cassandra Wilson at the Blue Note jazz club’s New Year’s Eve celebration. She has performed at Joe’s Pub, B.B.King’s, The Blue Note in New York City, the Atlanta Jazz Festival, and Chicago's famed South Shore Jazz Fest, among many other international venues.
Somi recently found time to complete a master’s degree at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She has been profiled in numerous media including CNN International, BBC World, National Public Radio, TV 5 Monde, VH1, MTV, and BET. In 2006 she was invited by the International French Cultural Centre to tour fifteen African countries. Earlier in the year she helped the Rwanda Ministry of Culture and World Culture Open to organise the fifth Pan-African festival of Dance in Kigali, Rwanda, while consulting for the United Nations Development Programme’s International Conference on Creative Economies for Development.

Somi Lyrics
BIRTHDAY Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,…
Outta My Head 산소가 없어 숨이 막혀와 뒤틀리고 베베 꼬여 얌전하던 심장이 나대요 막 의미 없는…

What an artiste !! I found her by entering the words Four African Ladies into Google to see if a painting I was in the process of doing had any meaning. Somi's "Four African Women" came up and I have loved her work ever since. Hope she comes on tour to England.
