Remi Wolf: "This is the vibe, fuck with it or don't!"

You'll struggle to find an artist quite so assertively herself as Remi Wolf.

There comes a moment in many a musician's life when everything clicks, where the idea of going out and taking on the world feels suddenly very possible. That there can be more than just messing around in a bedroom and smiling between mates. Remi Wolf laughs at the thought, "I actually know the exact moment, the exact day where that happened!

It perfectly captures Remi Wolf and her near-fearless approach to music. A performer from the very start ("My parents say that I figured out I loved performing when I was 2"), her kaleidoscope world of huge pop energy, fizzing colours and sugar-packed punches rallies against grey skies. Whipsmart quips and instant doses of pop are the order of the day - exactly how a modern pop star should be. "I want my music to sound completely different to what everyone else is doing. I'm kinda striving for big sounds, unique sounds, unique flow, unique lyrics just… to be different!"

For anyone who's glimpsed at Remi's world, that should be clear. Latest EP 'I'm Allergic To Dogs' breathes with confidence and fun, an amalgamation of hip-hop, electronica and pop only possible in a world of flicking playlists. Remi Wolf is not about waiting around for people to shuffle in at the back, it's about getting down the front and throwing yourself into that skittle-biting party spirit. "Performing was the first thing that I really fell in love with," explains Remi. "There are just so many homemade videos of me performing magic shows or fashion shows or dance shows from when I was 8 or 9 upwards. A lot of me performing for my parents all the time, bossing my little brother around which is actually pretty embarrassing."

Singing was a natural step. There were parties and backyard barbecue performances; showmanship going hand in hand with determination while soaking in the sounds of pop trailblazers. Conforming to the norm? The idea of that couldn't be further from her mind. "The one artist that just really clicked with me from a super young age was MIA," recalls Remi. "She had a huge influence on me just in terms of sounds and what pop music can be. Her song 'Paper Planes', when it came out, it was surrounded by a bunch of like soft-rock pop stuff, which I also liked, but she stood out so much in the sea that it had a huge impact on me."
