EJAE is the voice behind Rumi, the demon-fighting vocalist with purple, calf-length, dragon braid hair. She helped take HUNTR/X to the top of the charts and make the group a global phenomenon rivaling the appeal of Taylor Swift. She co-wrote several songs on the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, including the groundbreaking hit “Golden,” which won the Grammy for “Best Song Written for Visual Media.” This accomplishment is historic because it’s the first time a K-pop-associated song has won the prestigious award. The song also won a Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award, and it has been nominated for the Academy Award for “Best Original Song.”

Taking advantage of her well-deserved fame, EJAE has just released a new single, “Time After Time,” via Universal Records. The track sizzles with unbridled energy, showcasing the artist’s extraordinary pop intuition and exhilarating vocal range. She’s a prodigious talent with the potential for iconic stature. The deft way EJAE laces up her heartbreak in an infectious groove to wear it like a badge of honor is surprisingly empowering. She has a gift for crafting unifying anthems imbued with chart-topping magic.

Regarding the writing of her single, EJAE revealed, “The melody of ‘Time After Time’ was stuck in my head for years, just like the person I wrote it about.”

Before EJAE’s star rose as a Demon Hunter, she had already established herself as a highly respected talent. Her multicultural upbringing — Seoul and the United States — gave her a solid understanding of global culture, allowing her to write with a bold voice that is authentic and widely admired. Her respected background in writing, vocal-directing, and singing opened the door to give her credits on major hits like AESPA’s “Drama” and “Armageddon,” Red Velvet’s iconic “Psycho,” and songs with artists such as Le Sserafim, TWICE, Taeyeon, NMIXX, and FiftyFifty.

She may already be a global phenomenon with a record-breaking single that has well over one billion streams, but it feels like this is just the start of an amazing career.
