Rumer biography

Pakistani born, British raised Sarah Joyce, better known by her stage name Rumer, is a pop/ soul singer and songwriter.

Born on 3 June 1979 in Islamabad, Pakistan and moved to England at the age of 11. She started to perform under the name Sarah Prentice, she sang as part of a indie folk band called La Honda between 2000 and 2001, and later formed her own band called Rumer & The Denials. Both did fairly well in the local performing scene. She also recorded some solo songs under her real name in 2007 in South Korea. Rumer released her debut album “Seasons Of My Soul” in November 2010 and signed to Atlantic Records; she also set out on tour to support Jools Holland.

Rumer was invited by Burt Bacharach to his home in California to have her sing with him; eventually, this led to her working with Bacharach’s lyricist, as well as a release of a Christmas EP in December of 2010. In 2011 Rumer was nominated for Best Alternative Act and Best Newcomer for the UK Asian Music Award. In 2012 she was invited to perform at the White House for a Tribute concert for Bachacrach. She released her second album, “Boys Don’t Cry” in May 2012, followed shortly by “Into The Colour” in 2014 in the UK, Ireland and Japan. The album is scheduled to release in the United States in 2015.

Live reviews

Went to see Ed on 30th June 2016 at The Borderline Club in Soho, London. Firstly the venue, it was intimate and compact which definitely added to the atmosphere. Ed was supported by Lock and John J Presley, neither of which we had heard of, but both were entertaining, loud and musically very very good.
This was the 2nd time we have seen Ed. He played a lot of his soon to be released new album and all the unknown tracks were brilliantly written and performed in Ed's uniquely recognisable style. We absolutely loved it. Ed is personal and more than happy to interact with the crowd. The improv rendition of Born in the 70's whilst waiting for his guitar strings to be repaired was funny and creative. If you are familiar with Ed's music, you will love this show and if Ed is new to you, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SHOW.

Report

Rumer is a British songwriter and singer. She is a bit diverse in her music, excelling in both pop and soul. She has a very, almost bohemian sense of style and wore a beautiful outfit at her show. She had a very down to earth and lovely air about her. Her music was beautiful and almost haunting in it's loveliness. Her stage was set up in a simple, if standard sort of way.
The main focus was on her gorgeous, pure voice. She sang many of her songs, such as "Am I Forgiven", "I Believe In You", "I Wanna Roo You", and "Take Me As I Am". "I Believe in You" was probably my favorite out of all of them, as I found it to be a very sweet and pretty song. The crowd appeared to highly enjoy Rumer's performances in each and every song. The atmosphere was a little quieter than in some shows, but in a good way. People were quietly and gently swaying back and forth while listening to her lovely music.
Seeing her live was a great experience. I think she sounded even better live, in my opinion. The venue was open and outside in the evening, which lent itself nicely to the atmosphere.
