Sumi X is a Los Angeles-based artist whose passion for dreaming and exploring the boundless possibilities of life is the driving force behind her music. After successfully founding and exiting a tech company in college, Sumi decided to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a singer-songwriter and performer. In 2021, she relocated to LA and released her debut single, “Electric Baby,” in the spring of 2023 which many of you will remember since we had nothing but praise for it back then…
Sumi X’s latest release, “Protégé,” is a haunting and captivating pop song that explores the treacherous nature of seduction. The song delves into the dangers of placing one’s faith in charismatic individuals or institutions that may lure you in with their charm, only to use you up and discard you once they’re done.
“All of us are searching in life, for something – or someone – to believe in. That’s what “Protégé” is about. Sometimes we worship false idols, put people or things on a pedestal when we shouldn’t. And I think that’s all part of the process in search of truth.”
With its dark, sultry, and dramatic tones, “Protégé” is a powerful warning about the perils of misplaced faith. Sumi X’s evocative lyrics and mesmerizing vocals draw listeners into a world of temptation and betrayal, highlighting the devastating consequences of blindly following those who do not have our best interests at heart. Through her music, Sumi X encourages listeners to be vigilant and discerning in their relationships and interactions, reminding us that not all that glitters is gold.
