YELLA @yellabadxxx

The extraordinary journey of YELLA began not in fame, but in quiet determination, a bold vision, and a resolve to forge a fresh voice in music. Born Kim Chae-min on 1998-11-24 in South Korea, he emerged as a creative force in his late teens, honing his voice through covers and early collaborations. Looking back, these early experiments shaped a restless curiosity for sound and story.

Rising steadily, he officially debuted under the name YELLA on 2020-09-14 with the EP Maybecolorful, launching the title track "Bloom (ft. snzae)". The shift proved critical because it marked his transition from hopeful newcomer to artist with vision - willing to traverse genres, defy easy categorization, and build a presence across platforms (including YouTube and SoundCloud).

Struggling, at times, with the crowded world of pop and content‑creation, YELLA met skepticism from those who doubted a young artist breaking in. Yet he persevered, refining his style, blending sincerity with experimentation. The doubts only deepened his resolve. Overcoming the inertia, he kept releasing music and sharing covers, steadily building a modest but dedicated following.

Reaching a moment of creative affirmation, YELLA began collaborating with other underground musicians in 2019, contributing to tracks by snzae, Sool J, Sumsher and Chaanill - and releasing the single "Where We Go" as part of the Anonymous Artists project on 2019-09-10. That collaboration period strengthened his confidence and sense of purpose: he wasn't just chasing attention, but crafting art.

Triumphantly, his work now stands as a testament to self‑belief and creative freedom. As a Korean content creator and singer, YELLA channels diverse influences, resists easy labels, and invites listeners into a space of authenticity and evolving identity. Even now, YELLA's legacy reverberates through the worlds of music, art, culture, and human creativity, promising ongoing inspiration for emerging artists everywhere.
