Yaeji is a Korean-American artist known for her unique blend of house music and hip-hop. Born in New York City, she began her musical journey at a young age, learning to play the piano and drums. Yaeji's music is characterized by its catchy beats, infectious melodies, and introspective lyrics.
Her breakthrough came with the release of her hit single "Raingurl," which garnered critical acclaim and established her as an exciting new talent in the electronic music scene. Since then, Yaeji has continued to push boundaries with her genre-bending sound and captivating live performances.
With influences ranging from K-pop to underground club culture, Yaeji brings a fresh perspective to the world of electronic music. Her innovative approach has earned her a dedicated fan base and collaborations with renowned artists such as Charli XCX and Robyn. Experience the mesmerizing sounds of Yaeji's music and discover why she is one of today's most exciting rising stars.

What we Drew 우리가 그려왔던 is titled intentionally; for Yaeji, the title captures the spirit of the project as a whole which she explains, "is so much about friendship, family, gratitude and support - support that I've felt, that I've given, and that we all share." Produced entirely by Yaeji over the course of two years, she started writing the music for What We Drew with no specific narrative in mind, each track becoming a snippet of her life, a look into her diary. This total sense of freedom in her newly-built design and recording studio in Brooklyn allowed her to draw on a wide range of sounds, including the Korean indie rock and electronica that she listened to as a teenager in Seoul, and late ’90s and early 2000s hip hop and R&amp;B she grew up listening to. The guests featured on the project represent her community in New York City and beyond, including Brooklyn-via-Oakland rapper Nappy Nina, London performance artist Victoria Sin, London producer Shy One, and Tokyo DJ and producer YonYon; tracks like Free Interlude, featuring Lil Fayo, trenchcoat, and Sweet Pea, capture the open and collaborative spirit of afternoons at Yaeji headquarters. Although the mixtape is much indebted to Yaeji’s newfound laser focused creative vision and self-taught production work, it’s largely informed by her network of close-knit collaborators and friends.

Since the release of Yaeji’s 2017 EP’s (Yaeji and EP2), which broke her out as one of the most exciting new voices in dance music, she’s produced remixes for Charlie XCX and Robyn, sold out two headlining worldwide tours, and was included on the BBC’s Sound of 2018 list. In the midst of her swift rise, she has remained devoted to New York’s underground dance music scene; in 2019, Yaeji curated and organized Elancia, a massive Brooklyn warehouse rave where she gave her favorite local parties headlining slots. An artist who many pegged as the one to watch, Yaeji now aims beyond expectations, with an eye toward the worlds of music production, visual art, game design and more.
