Join my electrifying conversation with Yasmine Yousaf from one of the most influential electronic groups, Krewella. Be prepared to dive into the gripping world of music, success, and personal growth as we chart the course of Krewella's start, and evolution, from their beginnings to their meteoric rise in the EDM world. We will talk about their early failures and successes, and how they have adeptly navigated the challenging terrain of the music industry. We'll explore the importance of self-care amidst hard work, and Yasmine's crazy story about how Krewella's relationship began with Jake Udell from Third Brain, a force that helped shape Krewella's future with a story involving Skrillex.
Yasmine reveals the realities of being an artist in an industry known for its relentless pace, and how a forced break, courtesy of the global pandemic, resulted in a mix of fulfillment and disillusionment. We also dive into Yazzie's personal relationships, the pivotal role her upbringing played in shaping her values, and how her bond with her fanbase has driven Krewella's success.
In the final leg of our journey, Yasmine opens up about her passion for poetry, her struggles early in life with an autoimmune disease, and her search for meaning in life. This episode promises to be a treasure trove of insights for anyone who's passionate about music, personal growth, and succeeding against all odds.
