DJ and music producer Emily Youmans, who performs as Youms, moved to Duluth in June 2022 from Phoenix, Arizona and played her first Homegrown set last year. Since that show, she has worked to help build up the local electronic music scene, both curating and playing shows across Duluth and Superior with her two turntables and a microphone. Her stated goal is to always foster a positive, welcoming space for everyone in the community. Before moving to Duluth, she played club and festival shows in Phoenix, opening for artists such as Rezz, Eptic, Ternian Sound, Eprom and Alix Perez.
