There's a compelling quality to her work that feels indescribable, one that you can spend hours trying to define and never will. The release of Wolf's sophomore EP, I'm Allergic To Dogs!, bolstered the Californian artist's beguiling persona - think outrageously earnest librarian meets seasoned but humble Broadway actress - and honed her ability to produce music in the sweet spot between reference and innovation. Said expansion brought on Jared Solomon, who now produces under the name of solomonophonic Wolf and Solomon have continued to collaborate over the past decade.Īfter graduating from USC Thornton School of Music in 2018, Wolf dropped her debut EP, 2019's You're A Dog!. Initially named Remi and Chloe, the band grew to include drums and bass and rebranded as Remi, Chloe & The Extracts. When she was 14, Wolf formed her first band with a friend, and describes its sound as a Simon and Garfunkel spin off consisting of guitar and harmonies. Despite her overnight fame, the 25-year-old (Aquarius sun with the Leo rising and Cancer moon for those wondering) has long been putting in work. In 2020, Wolf hit the lottery with a viral TikTok hit, "Photo ID," the success of which was boosted with a remix featuring close friend and fellow Gen Z star Dominic Fike. Until this point in her career, she's relied on instincts to dance between the boundaries of pop music, and every move, equal parts authentic and innovative, pushes Wolf closer to superstar status. There's no wasted space in Wolf's music as she spills her guts about her feelings, translating hard emotions into absurd sounds. In the past three years, she's pioneered a kaleidoscope sound by producing pop music haphazardly filled to the margins with distorted guitars, sharp, vulgar barbs that could double as Cardi B outtakes, and whimsical, chaotic beats. Remi Wolf lives life by throwing herself into various outlets of creative expression, and her music is no exception. And now she's a viral pop singer who has, on the strength of two EPs filled with a magnetic hybrid of elated funk and soulful pop, won over a score of fans (affectionately referred to as "Remjobs"), including diverse guitar-slinger elders like John Mayer, Nile Rodgers and Beck. She used to be a junior Olympic ski racer. So when I'm performing, if it's my release, I want it to be a release for other people." "My music is where I'm able to release feelings and have fun with it," Wolf tells NPR.
