Yaeji, born Kathy Yaeji Lee on August 6, 1993, is an innovative force in the electronic music scene who seamlessly blends elements of house music with introspective indie sensibilities. Korean-American and bred between the two cultures, Yaeji's music reflects the richness and complexity of her dual heritage, often featuring lyrics in both English and Korean. Her hypnotic beats and whispery, reflective vocal style invite listeners into a mesmerizing and deeply personal sonic world.

Yaeji's rise to prominence in the underground club scenes of New York and Seoul has been marked by a series of ambitious and well-received releases. Among her work, the mixtape "WHAT WE DREW 우리가 그려왔던" showcases her distinct approach to production and collaboration, drawing inspiration from her friends and her Korean roots. Songs like "raingurl," "drink i'm sippin on," and her whimsical take on Drake's "Passionfruit" have earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated following. With her genre-pushing remixes, such as "Don't Start Now (Yaeji Remix)," and emotionally resonant original tracks like "easy breezy" and "With A Hammer," Yaeji continues to carve out a unique niche in the world of contemporary electronic music, bridging the gap between club culture and introspective songwriting.
