saint rumi is a New York City–area producer, singer-songwriter, sample maker, and multi-instrumentalist who blends folk, neo-soul, and lofi hip-hop into intimate, nostalgic songs built for resting and introspection. After years performing as hook singer Mike Maven and leading the experimental neo-soul ensemble Young Pandas — touring and collaborating across hip-hop and indie circles — he returned to releasing music under the saint rumi moniker with a focus on dreamy chillhop, jazz beats, and classic boom-bap grooves. His catalog spans solo singles, EPs, and high-profile lo-fi compilations including Lofi Girl releases, with standouts like "Kensington Market," "blue ribbon," and the 2026 singles "Crestfallen" and "Becoming." A seasoned multi-instrumentalist shaped by Prince and D'Angelo, he produces full songs and instrumentals that sit at the intersection of vulnerable songwriting and sample-driven beatmaking.
