P. A. Ibrahim (1950 – 1 August 2018), popularly known as Umbayee was an Indian folk musician and composer, associated with the Ghazal genre. Born in Mattancherry, Kerala, Umbayee is known for his unique style of singing. He died on 1 August 2018 in Aluva.
==Early years== Umbayee was born in 1950 in Mattanchery near Kochi. His real name was P. Abu Ibrahim. As a child Umbayee did not have a supportive environment towards music. His father was vehemently opposed to his son being inclined to music. Ultimately Umbayee failed in his exams thereby ending his school life. Seeing his son distracted by music, father packed Ibrahim off to Bombay (now Mumbai) where his (Umbayee's) uncle was a seaman and made him a trainee electrician. Being sent to Bombay was a decision which changed his life. He met Ustad Munawar Ali Khan who accepted Ibrahim as his disciple. Ibrahim studied music with Ustad for about 7 years without any interruption. ==Musical influences== Umbayee said "Mattancherry was a melting pot of music. There was music all around. You only had to find it."
