"A smouldering, sultry offering that weaves together threads of jazz, neo-soul, R&B and hip-hop" - Complex UK 

“Sprawling passages of jazz-infused indie tumble into soulful spoken word stints with a breezy elegance. It’s an experimental sound that manages to keep a slickness and shape” - Clunkmagazine (live review) 

Webmoms is the musical brainchild of UK based instrumentalist-producer-rapper Karum Cooper. It’s a project rich in influences across the musical spectrum with several millions of streams across platforms, national radio airplay and production credits across the globe, to boot. With a unique twist, Webmoms fuses conscious, politically driven hip-hop with Neo Soul, Electronica, Nu Jazz and percussive flavours from across the afro diaspora. 

Born to an Indian mother and Jamaican father, raised in a household that played everything from 90s RnB to 50s bebop, Punjabi Hip-Hop to classic Calypso and everything in between, Webmoms began his musical journey began playing drums and guitar in various Metal and Alt-rock bands during in the mid 2010s. A music obsessive, Webmoms was producing lofi-hip hop instrumentals on the side before getting a taste for music production and peeling away from the UK Rock & Metal scenes that raised him. This bedroom project has grown from strength to strength- with 2024’s EP ‘For Us By Us’ marking the artists first fully vocal release. The EP, with its nuanced and original take on Alternative Hip Hop, RnB and Neo soul, gained attention yet again from tastemaker press, Spotify Editorials, BBC networks (Radio 1Xtra, Radio 1, Radio6) and was supported by a 7 date UK tour with YAKUL.

2025 saw Webmoms release his first singles featuring the full live band. These went on to garner more plays across BBC Radio 1 & Radio 6 as well as being featured and performed live on BBC Two television series ‘Andi Olivers Fabulous Feasts’.

The band went on to tour with afro-fusion outfit Nubiyan Twist as well as a debut European headline run and festival appearances at Glastonbury, Boardmasters, Stowaway and more.
