The release of his debut EP "search result" on Cook’s PC Music label revealed his strength in merging intense, somatosnareal production with earwormesque performances from a lineup of protohyperpopular vocal talent including Laura Les (of 100 gecs) and Lewis Grant. umru’s sound cache sample pack has become a staple among modern producers. His most recent work includes production for Dorian Electra, Rebecca Black, Tommy Cash, and Fraxiom, as well as scoring for artist Hayden Dunham‘s performance at MoMA PS1.

Though umru started out in Soundcloud's beat and bass music scenes where he was making "producer music" that focused on sound design rather than songwriting, he has settled into the producer role. Today, he focuses most of his releases on collaborations with vocalists.

He shared, "Most of the material for my packs comes straight out of projects I've started—I do a lot of sound design in the process of writing or producing rather than sitting down to separately make samples, and I think that ends up being the best material that I already know can be used in the context of a song. Of course, I have hours of totally random harsh noise sound design as well, but I'll even try to shape those into specific uses like risers or impacts. If it's something I find useful or inspiring myself I assume others would too."
