We sit down with DJ Umami, the resident DJ for the San Francisco Giants and former Golden State Warriors DJ, who shares her journey from first-generation Filipino American to becoming one of the Bay Area's most prominent DJs. She discusses her musical influences rooted in soul, R&B, and hip-hop, her fascination with sampling that began with Lauryn Hill's "Killing Me Softly," and her experience as a female DJ in a male-dominated industry. DJ Umami opens up about how music has been a healing force in her life, her unique role in modernizing baseball's traditional atmosphere, and the evolution of DJ culture in the post-pandemic era.
