YAEJI

NK BADTZ MARU

KATRINA MIR

Mainstage / Doors at 7:30

Yaeji's music is an invitation into an intimate, healing, world exploring cultural identity and self-reflection through dreamlike house productions that morph from whispery confessionals to dancefloor burners. Born in Queens, NY to South Korean parents, Yaeji repatriated to Seoul shortly after, where she spent her formative years attending school, learning Korean and English side-by-side. Yaeji returned to America to study fine arts, east asian studies, and communication design at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Throughout her studies, Yaeji made a home for herself at the college radio station, where she was introduced to the local underground electronic music community and seminal club nights like Hot Mass, all formative experiences leading to her fascination with dance music production. With her fully-fledged music obsession in tow, Yaeji moved back to her birth city after graduation and began cultivating her own community of artists and DJs in Brooklyn's local dance scene while recording music of her own. Her releases merge club influences with songwriting and hazy raps flitting between Korean and English, with singles "Drink I'm Sippin On" and "Raingurl." marking Yaeji as a singular voice in dance, hip-hop and avant-pop music.
