“Electrifying, dazzling, and wonderful” are a few of the terms used to describe Lumiri Tubo. Backstage reviewer John Hoglund says, “This vivacious performer is a charmer with a diverse vocal style that at times ranges from Anita Baker to Alberta Hunter.” Barbara and Scott Seagal describe her as “a diva in the making who gets something rich and tasty out of every song,” while Roy Sander says, “she is poised but warm, classy yet natural and unaffected and she sings extremely well.”
Lumiri is an actress and singer with a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts from Ohio State University. Born in Brooklyn, New York, she has spent most of her life in rural Upstate New York’s Sullivan County. She offers drama workshops for children of all ages and has appeared in “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” “The King and I,” and “A Raisin in the Sun.” Her school and regional theater credits include “The Rainmaker,” “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf,” “The Beggar’s Opera,” and “The Amen Corner.”
