Remi Wolf: Rainbow-Hued Music

Remi Wolf is an LA-based pop artist who is quickly rising to stardom. She was born and raised in California’s Bay Area, in a city called Palo Alto. The artist states her hometown was once an area filled with rich culture, but is now populated by rich people.

The artist in question whose real name is actually Remi Wolf also goes by the nickname Remog Wog. She claims to have written her first song at the age of 14. A folk ballad she named Carousel.

The first song she recalls hearing at a young age was OMC’s How Bizarre. Her first performance was at a farm talent show, where she sang Jason Mraz’s Lucky with her friend.

Anyone that has paid attention to the young artist’s work will notice that dogs are a prominent theme in Wolf’s music. Her debut EP released in 2019 was titled You’re a Dog!, while her follow-up EP was titled I’m Allergic to Dogs!. Despite her supposed allergy to dogs, the young singer owns a little French Bulldog named Juno Jameson.

Wolf’s breakout single titled Woo!, has been called “ridiculously fun”, and “super catchy”. Her lyrics are chock-full of pop culture references, which are accompanied by candy sweet melodies to enhance their vibe. The music video for Woo! Also features plenty of surreal imagery to keep things fresh and wacky.

Before entering the music scene, Wolf had an interest in becoming an Olympic skier. She says she trained at Lake Tahoe and attended ski school up until the age of sixteen.

Wolf first entered the music scene when she started a band called Citrus with her two friends Tatyana and Chloe. The group would perform acapella at different parties and events. Wolf claims the experience helped her improve her singing ability and become more confident.

Citrus soon disbanded, and Wolf began writing music with Chloe. This partnership would prove fruitful, and the pair began performing at their school regularly. They then moved onto performing at different venues around their city, gaining minor fame in the process.

Wolf’s singing teacher nudged her to audition for American Idol when she was seventeen. She passed the first few rounds and made it to the Hollywood stage. However, she soon realized she wasn’t fond of the show’s arrangement. This was the moment she decided to follow her own path into the music world.

Many of Wolf’s fans are glad she chose this route, as the artist has been able to express herself more freely since. The young artist is looking forward to releasing new music, and is excited to be able to go back outside once the pandemic is over. You can see what Remi Wolf is up to on her Instagram.
