Okumu released his first solo record Knopperz in 2021; an instrumental concept album
based on pianist Duval Timothy's 2017 album Sen AmIt was friend and mentor Lexxx who
sparked the soul searching that kicked off his next record after he told Okumu that he was
trying to explain who Okumu was but struggled to summarise his vast catalogue.
"There are all these ways into these aspects of who I am and I felt like he was saying, it
would be so cool if you could find out how to say who you are in a comprehensive way".
Okumu took on that challenge and in response devised his sophomore release I Came From
Love, a tapestry of Black experience that explores ancestry, the legacy of slavery, what it
means to exist in an unjust society, and Okumu's own family history.
