Key Information
Remi Francis Wolf[1] (born February 2, 1996), is an American singer and songwriter from Palo Alto, California.[2][3][4] As a senior in high school, she appeared as a contestant on American Idol in 2014.[5][6] After completing her undergraduate music studies in 2018,[7][8] she made her solo debut with the self-released extended play You're a Dog! in October 2019.[9][10] 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,[11][12][13][14] followed by her debut studio album, Juno, in October 2021.[15] She released her second album, Big Ideas, on July 12, 2024.[16]
Early life and education
[edit]Wolf was born in Palo Alto, California,[14] 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 competed during her youth.[20]
When she was 14, Wolf formed her first band with a friend. They called it Remi and Chloe (later, Remi, Chloe, & The Extracts).[21] As a senior at Palo Alto High School, Wolf appeared as a contestant during the audition rounds on the thirteenth season of American Idol in 2014,[5] being cut in Hollywood week without being aired there.[6] At age 17, she moved to Los Angeles, where she attended the USC Thornton School of Music, graduating in 2018 at the age of 22.[22][23]
Career
[edit]Wolf met producer Jared Solomon, known as Solomonophonic, while in high school and began collaborating with him thereafter. Her first single, "Guy", was produced by Solomon and was released in 2019. Off the success of that song, Wolf opened for Still Woozy on his tour in April of that year.[9][24] She also toured with Cautious Clay[25] and performed at both the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books and Viva Pomona! later in 2019.[26] She released her first EP, You're a Dog!, in September 2019.[9] She was later signed to Island Records, a division of the Universal Music Group.[26]
Her first single as an Island signee, "Woo!", was released in April 2020.[27] That was followed by the singles "Photo ID"[28] and "Disco Man".[29] Those tracks would go on to appear on Wolf's second EP, I'm Allergic to Dogs!, released in June 2020 via Island.[26] "Photo ID" accrued numerous streams and shares on TikTok throughout 2020.[21] In November 2020, her single "Hello Hello Hello" was featured in an ad for the iPhone 12.[30] The track 'Photo ID' placed 75 on Australian radio station Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2020. In May 2021, she released We Love Dogs!, a remix EP with guest appearances from acts like Sylvan Esso, Beck, Dominic Fike, Hot Chip, and others.[31]
Later in 2021, Wolf began releasing new singles, including "Liquor Store", "Grumpy Old Man", and "Quiet on Set". These would appear on her major label debut studio album, Juno, released via Island in October 2021.[21][32] In March 2022, she released the single "Pool" with Still Woozy.[33] Later that year, Wolf opened for Lorde on the North American leg of her "Solar Power" tour.[34] In June 2022, Wolf released a "deluxe" version of Juno with four additional tracks.[35] That month, she toured throughout Europe,[36] including a stop at the Firenze Rocks festival in Florence, Italy where she performed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nas.[37] Those dates constituted the first leg of Wolf's "Gwingle Gwongle" tour, which had stops across North America later in the fall of 2022.[33] In August 2022 in collaboration with Spotify, Wolf released the Live at Electric Lady EP, a collection of six live songs, including a cover of Frank Ocean's "Pink + White".[38] In November 2022, Wolf announced her first tour of Australia and New Zealand during which she was scheduled to play multiple festivals and a handful of headlining shows in December 2022 and January 2023.[39] Wolf performed at the 22nd Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2023.[40] Her hit song "Monte Carlo" was featured in the Netflix movie You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah in August 2023.[41] Before the release of her second album, she appeared as the supporting act on some of the European concerts of Olivia Rodrigo's Guts World Tour.
Throughout March and July, singles "Cinderella", "Toro", "Alone in Miami", "Motorcycle", "Soup" and "Pitiful" were put out to promote Wolf's second album, Big Ideas, which was announced to release in July 2024.[16] "Soup" was dubbed a "funk-flecked synth-pop cut" by NME's Hannah Mylrea.[42] Pitchfork's Boutayna Chokrane regarded "Cinderella" as a "Soul Train-inspired disco-funk number about [Wolf]'s everyday mood swings".[43] Big Ideas charted at 15 and 27 on the UK Sales Chart and Scottish Album Charts, respectively, and received critical acclaim, massing an 80/100 score from music aggravator Metacritic.[44] In December 2023, Wolf covered Amy Winehouse's cover of The Zutons' song 'Valerie' for radio station Triple J's weekly program, Like A Version.[45]
Artistry
[edit]Musically, Wolf performs in what she describes as a "funky soul pop" genre.[7][22][46] In a 2021 interview, she stated she wants to "constantly try to innovate the sound of pop music" and "erase the rules of pop".[47] The New York Times wrote that she turns the bedroom pop genre into "hypercolored explosions".[48] Wolf cites Still Woozy, SZA, and John Mayer as musical influences.[49]
Personal life
[edit]Wolf is bisexual.[9] She has been based in Los Angeles, California, since circa 2014.[26] In June 2020, she was checked into rehab for alcohol use disorder.[50] She has stated she has been sober ever since,[51] and that in past instances she frequently drank to the point of blacking out; although she could easily function in daily life, she had started fighting with family, friends and collaborators.[48] She has ADHD.[21]

Remi Wolf
View on GrokipediaEarly life and education
Remi Francis Wolf was born on February 2, 1996, in Palo Alto, California, to a Sicilian mother and a Russian-Persian father, both retired athletes. She is the oldest of four siblings and grew up in a household influenced by her parents' athletic backgrounds. From a young age, Wolf excelled in downhill skiing, beginning competitive training at age seven and representing the United States for ten years, including at the Youth Olympic Games and two appearances at the Junior Olympics. She quit skiing at age 17 to focus on music.[13][5] Wolf's early exposure to music came in middle school, where she formed a pre-teen girl group called Citrus with friends, performing in a barbershop-style trio. During high school at Palo Alto High School, she joined an afterschool music program, started a band called Remi & Chloe with friend Chloe Zilliac (later Remi, Chloe & The Extracts), and released an EP titled Lookout featuring original songs. She also auditioned unsuccessfully for NBC's The Voice three times. As a senior in 2014, Wolf auditioned for the 14th season of American Idol, singing "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye; she advanced to Hollywood Week but was eliminated during Group Night.[14][7][4] At age 17, Wolf moved to Los Angeles and enrolled at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. She was also accepted to Berklee College of Music but chose USC, where she earned a Bachelor of Music in Popular Music in 2018. During college, she began experimenting with songwriting and production.[8][14]Career
After graduating from the University of Southern California in 2018, Wolf began her solo music career by self-releasing tracks and building an online presence. Her debut EP, You're a Dog!, was released on September 20, 2019, marking her entry into the indie pop scene with its eclectic blend of funk and soul influences.[15] The following year, on June 24, 2020, she released her second EP, I'm Allergic to Dogs!, on Island Records after signing with the label, which gained viral traction on TikTok, particularly with the single "Photo ID," helping her amass millions of streams and a growing fanbase.[16] In 2021, Wolf expanded her catalog with the remix EP We Love Dogs!, featuring collaborations with artists such as Beck, Dominic Fike, Sylvan Esso, and Hot Chip, showcasing her ability to blend genres through reinterpretations of her earlier work.[17] Her debut studio album, Juno, followed on October 15, 2021, earning critical acclaim for its raw exploration of personal struggles including addiction and relationships, and solidifying her reputation as a boundary-pushing artist. Wolf's sophomore album, Big Ideas, released on July 12, 2024, further explored themes of joy and introspection, receiving praise from outlets like NPR and Billboard, and contributing to her catalog surpassing two billion global streams as of late 2024. Throughout her career, Wolf has collaborated with artists including Still Woozy and Nile Rodgers, and performed at prominent festivals such as Coachella (2022 and 2024) and Lollapalooza (2023). She has received nominations including PUSH Performance of the Year at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards and Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist at the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards. By November 2025, Wolf continues to headline international tours, including the ongoing Big Ideas Tour, which features sold-out shows at venues like the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.[18]Personal life
Wolf adopted a French Bulldog named Juno at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, despite being allergic to dogs; her 2021 debut album is named after him.[19][4] During the pandemic, Wolf entered rehab for four months in 2020 to address a drinking problem and achieved sobriety, which influenced her music on the album Juno.[20][19] As of 2024, she has described her approach to sobriety as experimental, having dabbled in both drinking and periods of sobriety without committing to an all-or-nothing stance.[21] Wolf has spoken openly about her fluid sexuality, referencing relationships with both men and women in her music since 2019, and embraces a nonchalant attitude toward queerness.[21] She has discussed struggles with anxiety and depression, attending therapy twice a week and taking a mental health retreat in late 2020.[4]Discography
Studio albums
Remi Wolf has released two studio albums as of 2024, both under Island Records, showcasing her eclectic blend of funk, pop, R&B, and indie influences. Her debut album marked her transition from EPs to full-length projects, while her sophomore effort expanded on themes of personal growth and emotional introspection. Juno, released on October 15, 2021, serves as Wolf's debut studio album and her first full-length project following a series of EPs. Produced in collaboration with artists like Teo Halm and Ethan Gruska, the 13-track record draws from funk, pop, and R&B genres, exploring themes of self-discovery, relationships, and vulnerability through upbeat yet introspective songwriting. Critics praised its vibrant energy and genre-blending production, with NME highlighting it as "funk-pop at its brightest and boldest," emphasizing tracks like "Hello Hello Hello" and "Sexy Villain" for their infectious grooves and lyrical wit.[22][23] The album established Wolf's reputation for innovative, feel-good pop. Big Ideas, her second studio album, arrived on July 12, 2024, building on the foundation of Juno with a more mature exploration of fame, heartbreak, and resilience. Featuring 13 tracks co-produced by Wolf alongside collaborators such as Andrew Wells and Ludwig Göransson, it incorporates elements of pop rock, dance-pop, and synth funk, with standout songs like "Cinderella" and "Alone in Miami" addressing emotional turmoil through dynamic instrumentation and soaring vocals. NME commended its "funk-fuelled catharsis," noting how the album captures Wolf's evolution as an artist amid relentless touring and personal challenges.[24] Upon release, Big Ideas peaked at number 95 on the Billboard 200, reflecting sustained commercial interest in her work.Extended plays
Remi Wolf's extended plays consist of three releases that established her early career, blending funky pop, soul, and eclectic production before her full-length albums. Her debut EP, You're a Dog!, was self-released on September 20, 2019, and features six tracks including "Sauce," "Rufufus," and "Thicc." Recorded in various bedrooms across California, the project highlights Wolf's raw, bedroom pop influences and playful lyricism.[25] Following her signing to Island Records, Wolf issued her second EP, I'm Allergic to Dogs!, on June 24, 2020, as her major-label debut. The five-track release, co-produced with Solomonophonic and others, continues the canine-themed nomenclature with songs like "Down the Line," "Woo!," "Hello Hello Hello," "Photo ID," and "Disco Man," expanding on her genre-blending sound with more polished funk elements.[26] In anticipation of her debut studio album, Wolf released the remix EP We Love Dogs! on May 5, 2021, via Island Records. Spanning 15 tracks, it reimagines selections from her prior EPs through collaborations with artists such as Beck (remixing "Photo ID"), Dominic Fike, Hot Chip, Little Dragon, and Sylvan Esso, emphasizing her growing network in the indie and pop scenes.[27]Live collections
Remi Wolf released her first live collection, the EP Live at Electric Lady, on August 4, 2022, in collaboration with Spotify and recorded at the iconic Electric Lady Studios in New York City.[28] The six-track project captures Wolf performing in a stripped-down, intimate setting, blending selections from her existing discography and a cover. Produced by Wolf herself, the EP was engineered and mixed by John Rooney at Electric Lady Studios.[29] The tracklist features live renditions of "wyd" and "Liz" from her 2021 album Juno, alongside "Grumpy Old Man" from her 2020 EP I'm Allergic to Dogs!, "Woo!" from the same EP, and "Sauce" from her 2019 EP You're a Dog!. It also includes a soulful cover of Frank Ocean's "Pink + White" from his 2016 album Blonde. These performances highlight Wolf's vocal versatility and band dynamics in a live context, emphasizing raw energy over studio polish.[28][30] Initially released as a digital EP exclusive to Spotify under Island Records, Live at Electric Lady later received a limited-edition vinyl pressing on orange crush-colored vinyl for Record Store Day on April 20, 2024. The vinyl edition mirrors the original tracklist and credits, with songwriting attributions including collaborations with producers like Jared Solomon for select tracks. This release underscores the EP's role in bridging Wolf's studio work with live performance documentation.[31][32]Singles
