Remi Francis Wolf[1] (born February 2, 1996) is an American singer and songwriter from California.[2][3][4][5] As a senior at Palo Alto High School, she appeared as a contestant on American Idol in 2014.[6][7] After completing her studies at USC Thornton School of Music in 2018,[8][9] she made her solo debut with the self-released extended play You're A Dog! in October 2019.[10][11] Wolf subsequently released her second EP and major-label debut, I'm Allergic To Dogs!, on Island Records and Virgin EMI Records in June 2020,[12][13][14][15] followed by her debut studio album, Juno, in October 2021.[16]

Early life

Wolf was born in Palo Alto, California[15] on February 2, 1996,[17][18] to a Sicilian mother and a Russian-Persian father.[19] At around the age of eight she became interested in competitive skiing, and represented the US in alpine skiing at the Youth Olympic Games for two consecutive years.[20] At age 17, she moved to Los Angeles, where she attended the USC Thornton School of Music, graduating in 2018.[21][22] Wolf appeared as a contestant during the audition rounds on the thirteenth season of American Idol in 2014,[6] but without any formal dismissal, did not reappear later on in the show.[7]

Career

Wolf formed her first band as a teenager with a friend and committed herself to music full-time at 16. She originally wanted to make a career as a songwriter.

She met producer Jared Soloman while in college. Their first track, entitled "Guy," landed Wolf a spot opening for Still Woozy and eventually led to a partnership with Apple to create a soundtrack for an iPhone commercial, which in turn led to partnerships with Dominic Fike and Cautious Clay.[23][24]

She released her first EP after graduating from college.

Wolf entered rehab for alcohol in 2020, saying the move would help her career.[23]

Wolf released her debut album, Juno, in October 2021.[25]

In November of 2021, a single from Juno, "Grumpy Old Man", was featured in a commercial for Kraft Dinner.

In October of 2022, Wolf applied for consideration of best new artist at the Grammys.

Artistry

Musically, Wolf performs in what she describes as a "funky soul pop" genre.[8][21][26] In a 2021 interview, she stated she wants to "constantly try to innovate the sound of pop music" and "erase the rules of pop".[27] The New York Times wrote that she turns the genre bedroom pop into "hypercolored explosions".[28] She experiments with upbeat, unconventional sounds to produce unique songs that connect to her personal life experiences.[27] She gains her inspiration and love for music from artists such as Still Woozy, SZA, and John Mayer.[29]

Personal life

Wolf is bisexual.[10] She has been based in Los Angeles, California, since circa 2014.[30] In June 2020, she was checked into rehab for alcoholism issues.[31] She claims to have been sober ever since,[32] and that in past instances she frequently drank to the point of blacking out, and although she could easily function in daily life, she had started fighting with family, friends and collaborators.[28]
