Yaeji Interview
Meet Yaeji, House Music’s Most Exciting New Voice
This New York City-based singer, rapper, producer, and DJ has a knack for turning bass-heavy bangers into intimate affairs.
Pitchfork: How did you first learn to make music and produce beats?
Yaeji: Just trial and error. In college, I downloaded Ableton and skipped a bunch of classes and played around. And growing up, I learned how to play the piano and the flute to a certain extent, and I tried to teach myself how to play guitar, ukulele, things like that. But music was really a short-lived hobby, and I had no idea I would rediscover that hobby because I always believed myself to be a visual person. All of the music stuff was a surprise.
Do you approach visual arts and music in the same way?
The overarching similarities in any creative process for me is that I’m more impulsive than others—a lot of thinking less and making a mess.
