Fueled by an independent spirit and a revolutionary approach to art, Krewella is a pioneering dance music duo formed in 2007 in Chicago by sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf. One of the most successful electronic acts of the past decade, Krewella first made impact with their self-released debut EP Play Hard (2012), which topped the iTunes US Dance Chart, and their breakout debut album Get Wet (Columbia, 2013), which features the platinum hit single "Alive," the latter of which peaked at #32 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
With the launch of their own Mixed Kids Records imprint, named after their multiracial background, in June 2017, Krewella initiated their next creative phase. The result is Krewella's new sound: a refined take on dance music that encompasses diverse styles, cross-pollinates genres, and takes cues from their multi-cultural upbringing. Remaining loyal to their electronic-based foundation, Krewella's reimagined sonic style pulls cues from a wide array of diverse sounds--trap, Bollywood-flavored pop, R&B-tinged electronic--while exploring deeper themes of mixed ethnic identity, liberated sexuality, and creative experimentation.
Krewella now enters their next creative era with the highly anticipated zer0, their new artist album and their first major project in three years. Out January 2020 on Mixed Kids Records, zer0 is the culmination of the duo's more than decade-long artistic journey at the forefront of the global electronic music community. Hailed as a "transformative body of work that represents a new chapter in Krewella's career" (Billboard) and recognized as the group's "creative apex" (DJ Mag), zer0 sees the Yousaf sisters further exploring their intricate songwriting and production styles, expanding their independent spirit and international sound, and deepening their worldly approach to art.
