Yaeji

Yaeji is a NYC-via-Seoul artist, producer, vocalist, and DJ whose emotionally precise,

cross-genre sound has earned her global acclaim. She broke out in 2017 with viral tracks

“Raingurl” and “Drink I’m Sippin On,” and has since released the critically lauded WHAT

WE DREW mixtape and her 2023 debut album With A Hammer, named one of the year’s

best by Pitchfork, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and more. Known for her bilingual lyrics

and boundaryless sound, Yaeji has collaborated with Charli XCX, Sampha, Robyn,

Nourished By Time, and OHHYUK, and has remixed Dua Lipa. She has performed at

MoMA PS1, The Shed, and major international festivals, while launching her lifestyle

platform JI-MART.

In 2025, Yaeji continued to expand her reach across club and pop, releasing the

standalone single “Pondeggi,” appearing on BAMBII’s Infinity Club II and Girl Talk &

T-Pain’s “Believe in Ya,” and remixing ATEEZ’s “In Your Fantasy.” Following a global run

of festivals and a headline tour, she returned with “booboo2,” a high-energy rework of

her 2024 track featuring underscores and Aliyah's Interlude.

In October she collaborated with Balming Tiger on the double single “wo ai ni / break it

even,” a cross-continental release shaped by over a year of creative exchange between

Seoul and New York. As the With A Hammer era gives way to a new phase, Yaeji

continues to move fluidly between underground club culture, contemporary art, and

global pop — with her next chapter already taking shape.
