P. A. Ibrahim (1950 – 1 August 2018), popularly known as Umbayee was an Indian folk musician and composer, associated with the Ghazal genre.

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.

He met Ustad Munawar Ali Khan who accepted Ibrahim as his disciple.

Similar to the youth at the time, Ibrahim's inspiration had been Mehboob, who was a natural and enigmatic singer.

Ibrahim used to be doing odd jobs in Abdul Khader Vakil's house where those musicians stayed.

Once he got a chance to listen to Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Alla Rakha ‘live’ at Mattancherry.
