 **Remi Francis Wolf**  (born February 2nd, 1996) is an American singer, songwriter and record producer based in California.

## Early Life

Remi was born on February 2th, 1996, in Palo Alto, California. She began skiing when she was eight years old, and she went on to represent the United States in skiing at the Youth Olympic Games for two years in a row. Remi had been attending Escondido Elementary School where she befriended multiple students and started to express her love for music by the time she was in fourth grade.

## Career

### Circa 2008: Citrus

Upon reaching sixth grade, Remi gathered two of her friends, Chloe Zilliac and Tatyana, and founded a barbershop acapella group named Citrus. The three came together via their mutual interest of singing and commonly sang cheery or upbeat songs together. Citrus featured themselves at events such as parties and performed in matching outfits. For an unknown reason, Citrus disbanded from Tatyana by the time Remi and Chloe entered high school.

### Circa 2011: Remi & Chloe, Duo Career

Remi and Chloe branched off from Citrus and decided to arrange Remi and Chloe, an acoustic duo. The two became relatively successful and released multiple singles, alongside a full studio extended play.

### Circa 2017: Solo Career, "Slept With A Monster"

In 2017, nearing the time of Remi & Chloe's unofficial disbandment, Remi released her debut project excluding the accompaniment of Chloe. The track, entitled "Slept With A Monster", was published in April of 2017 by nativetoEarth, a friend of Remi, featuring Aaron Reihs as the single's saxophonist. Although with no prior announcement, it became clear Remi was attempting a solo exploration for her personal music career. Remi had begun to experiment with her style, participating in sessions with various of her friends who had partaken in singing and songwriting as well. This supported her willingness to learn and allowed her to branch off from the previous acoustic style she had developed with Chloe, forming her various different approaches to her style in the following years.

### 2019: *You're A Dog!* and "Bad Behavior"

To start off Remi's virtual career, we may go back to 2019. During 2019, Remi and her good friend Solomonophonic developed her first ever released extended play, *You're a Dog!*. While traveling throughout L.A., house-to-house, Remi wrote the songs under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She claims that she only pulled through because of "chile rellenos and gushers". The EP was most likely quick to finish, considering Remi alleges that her music was always easy to write, and it only takes her about two to four hours to compose a complete track. Each of the singles were written, produced, then published to lead up to the final release. Eventually, the EP was distributed alongside two new songs that appeared on it, adding up to six tracks. Although, "You're a Dog!" was not particularly an immediately famous hit.

On November 11th, 2019, Remi teased the upcoming release on her Instagram, revealing the collaboration with Austin Millz. "Bad Behavior" concludes her first stand-alone single ever, being released on November 14th, 2019.

### 2020-2021: "I'm Allergic to Dogs!" & "Cheesin'"

*I'm Allergic to Dogs!*, the 2020 follow-up to her debut, acts as her sophomore project with four previous singles. The process was most likely started in April or May, but the operation was similar. One-by-one, each single was released undistributed on YouTube music until the EP's final release on June 24th, 2020. This included one more track, "Hello Hello Hello", adding up to five tracks. The EP was released under Island Records (unlike her previous self-release) as she signed with them in 2019.

In November of 2020, the bridge of "Photo ID" exploded in popularity, mainly on the famous social media application TikTok. With this, the song itself gained extraordinary attention on all music platforms, allowing its music video to reach over 3.5 million views. During this, Remi used TikTok's duet feature on many videos. Some people claimed that the song was actually in Japanese, although Remi later confronted this rumor and its incorrectness. To celebrate this, a remix of the song featuring musician Dominic Fike was given out with its own music video on March 3rd, 2021. The song is still Remi's most popular to modern day.

In collaboration with Cautious Clay, Still Woozy, Sophie Meiers, Claud, Melanie Faye and HXNS, Remi Wolf joined in on "Cheesin'", a project amongst many to support charity. At the beginning of 2020, a deadly pandemic swept the world: COVID-19. Many people were left helpless; upon being laid off from their jobs, some could not continue to afford common necessities. With this, the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund was established to collect donations and divide them across people who were greatly affected by the virus. "Cheesin'" supports this, as the song was was created to bridge multiple artists together, allowing it to gain publicity to generate revenue for charity. The song was released on the 22nd of April with a lyric video. A music video was later released on May 21st. Both videos are directly connected to the charity via YouTube's fundraising feature. Each video was tagged with "#Cheesin4Charity" to support the movement while a website was also hosted.
