Concept and fictional setting

sumYOUman is presented both as a musical act and as a fictional narrative property. Its music, videos, interviews, and episodic audio material share an interconnected setting involving extraterrestrial phenomena, unexplained transmissions, coincidence, identity, and questions involving human and non-human intelligence.

The narrative centers on Morgan, Thibideaux, and Harper as musicians whose experiences increasingly intersect with unexplained phenomena.

Narrative material is distributed across multiple formats rather than confined to individual songs. Music videos frequently function as episodes within the larger fictional continuity.

Members

The members of sumYOUman are fictional characters whose biographies form part of the project’s narrative.

Nathan Morgan

‘’‘Nathan Morgan’’’ is the lead vocalist and frontman of sumYOUman. Project character material depicts Morgan as originally from Texas and as the emotional and performative center of the group.

His recurring visual identity includes a yellow leather jacket and geometric tattoos. The character is generally portrayed as intuitive and philosophical, in contrast to Thibideaux’s analytical temperament and Harper’s more skeptical outlook.

Jacob “Jake” Thibideaux

‘’‘Jacob “Jake” Thibideaux’’’ is the drummer of sumYOUman. Within the fictional narrative, he is also portrayed as technically oriented and particularly attentive to recurring signals, patterns, and anomalous data.

The character generally uses ‘’‘Jake’’’ rather than Jacob.

Within the band’s fictional history, Thibideaux met Liam Harper during a snowboarding trip in Utah. Their meeting is portrayed as an accidental near-collision during Thibideaux’s first experience snowboarding.

Liam Harper

‘’‘Liam Harper’’’ is the guitarist and backing vocalist of sumYOUman.

The character is depicted as being from Provo, Utah and is generally presented as the more rational or skeptical member of the trio. His fictional background includes experience with board sports before meeting Thibideaux during a snowboarding trip in Utah.

Harper’s role within the narrative frequently provides a skeptical counterpoint to Morgan’s intuition and Thibideaux’s interpretation of anomalous patterns.

Fictional formation

Within the project’s fictional history, Jake Thibideaux and Liam Harper first met during a snowboarding trip in Utah. Harper’s account describes Thibideaux, then an inexperienced snowboarder, approaching a lift at speed and nearly colliding with him.

Nathan Morgan subsequently became the group’s lead vocalist, forming the three-member lineup.

The three-member structure is incorporated into the fictional characterization of the band as well as its musical arrangement, with the characters describing the trio as intentionally operating without a fourth permanent member.

Episodic media

In addition to music and music videos, the project publishes episodic narrative material.

‘‘Signal Check’’ presents additional fictional material involving the band and unexplained phenomena."Signal Check". sumYOUman. Retrieved 24 August 2026.

The first ‘‘Signal Check’’ episode was also published through the official sumYOUman YouTube channel.sumYOUman (9 August 2026). Signal Check Episode 1 (Audio episode). YouTube. Retrieved 24 August 2026.

Other fictional audio material includes ‘‘Sonic Range’’, featuring host Brian Logan and characters associated with the wider sumYOUman narrative.

Production

sumYOUman uses a hybrid production workflow combining human-authored music, lyrics, narrative design, visual direction, digital post-production, and generative artificial intelligence.

According to the project’s AI Content Disclosure, musical compositions and lyrics are human-created, while AI-assisted production is used in areas including fictional character imagery, synthesized character performances, portions of video production, and sound effects.

The project’s copyright statement identifies creative direction, narrative design, character development, and editorial decisions as human-authored.

The United States Copyright Office registration for ‘‘Keepers’’ identifies Stephen Todd Colletti as author of all ten registered musical works and specifies the authorship as “musical work(s) (with or without lyrics)”. The registration also states that the works were not created as works made for hire.

Audiovisual productions associated with sumYOUman have used conventional editing and graphics software alongside AI-assisted production systems.

Musical style

sumYOUman’s music incorporates elements of rock, punk, alternative rock, metal, electronic music, and experimental production. Apple Music classifies ‘‘Keepers’’ as metal.

The project has described elements of its later material in terms of horror punk, science-fiction rock, and post-punk.

Recurring lyrical and narrative themes include alienation, identity, transformation, extraterrestrial life, unexplained phenomena, technology, and human relationships.
