Originally born in Flushing, Queens, Yaeji (aka Kathy Yaeji Lee) moved around a lot as a child, including Atlanta Georgia, and her parents homeland of South Korea. She found this clash of cultures evident in her early years but it wasn't until she went to college as a teenager that she would find comfort in the the worlds of hip hop and electronic music. Via a stint at the college radio station, a popular club night in the city, and to her own DJ'ing activities, Yaeji eventually found her own self-produced sound.
Join us as we discuss Yaeji's history and creative approaches.
