Along the way, she's shared stages lineups with a range of artists who have shaped her own musical journey including Lauryn Hill & The Fugees, Black Coffee, Kerri Chandler, Purple Disco Machine, Disclosure, Dom Dolla, Cinthie, Dennis Quin, MJ Cole, Brawther, TSHA, salute and DJ Senc.
Now firmly rooted in Manchester’s electronic music community, Urbi is a resident with NOT BAD FOR A GIRL, Reform Radio, and ICN (Ibiza Club News) Radio, allowing her to share her distinctive sound with listeners globally.
In 2024 she also founded Staple Music, a record label and events brand dedicated to inclusivity and the amplification of underrepresented voices in house music, where she curates and promotes events, scouts emerging talent and creates spaces where everyone feels welcome.
With her debut release upcoming on NOT BAD FOR A GIRL’s EQUAL PARTS imprint and with her first full EP in the works, Urbi’s story is only just beginning. Rooted in community, driven by creativity, and fuelled by a love for house music, she continues to carve out her place as one of Manchester’s most exciting rising talents.
