Krewella biography

Hailing from Chicago, the electropunk sister duo Krewella are active vocal inspirations through their music and editorials. Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf have grown into symbols of female empowerment - personified work ethic that transcended social and gender stigmas to ultimately achieve their dream.

With heavy rock and dance influences, the girls first burst onto the scene with their Play Hard EP in 2011. Quickly amassing almost half a billion plays, they were pioneers in a male-dominated music industry, securing major club residencies and festival appearances. Their rebellious fashion and attitude inspired their millions of fans to embrace themselves, and they formed an obsessed collective affectionately self-dubbed as the #KREW.

With coverage from publications like the New York Times and Rolling Stone, Krewella caught the world's attention as the new age rock stars of this millennial generation. After Super Bowl spots and sold out headlining shows, Jahan and Yasmine were trail blazers for artists in the electronic genre - with their unapologetic female swagger in tow.

With the platinum hit 'Alive' under their belt, Krewella has charted hundreds of millions of streams while they have evolved into a live rock / dance hybrid act. With their versatility in their songwriting and vocal performance, the sisters' work with producers of all genres gives them the freedom to redefine their sound. With the rare ability to play both acoustic live sets and raucous Las Vegas club residencies, Krewella is one of today's most unique music performers.

Live reviews

2010 is the year I first heard of this DJ group called Krewella. First thoughts were, "wow."
Google search, here I come.
I was immediately on board; I was full throttle, pedal to the floor hooked on the beautiful girls, Jahan and Yasmine, the mind blowing creativity of Rainman, and the amazing live music they produced together as a team.
I was off like a rocket, downloading, YouTubing, searching, searching, learning, listening, searching; I was so intrigued. The level of talent, attraction, and need to see them live was incredible.
After my crash course in Krewella 101 I found myself attending shows, one after another, and boy, was it worth it. Their following was small at the time but I was up close and personal at every show which great in and of itself. Getting the opportunity to see an incredible group develop before your eyes is what I call, “prime time.” They are unaltered by the public or people’s opinions, it I attended multiple shows in Cincinnati, Chicago, Athens, Columbus, and New York. Not only is their performances emotional and powerful, members of Krewella are simply good people. I had the pleasure of meeting Yasmine and Rainman just outside the performance tent in Cincinnati at Fountain Square for the Free Summer Concert Series. They both are very real and appreciative of the fans they have. I even managed to get a kiss on the cheek from Yasmine, “talk about amazing.”
The Free show in Cincinnati was special because it was close proximity to the crowd, it was very engaging and "in your face performance." In other words, it was outstanding and they left it all out there for us. They played for approximately an hour mixing and mashing up tracks together I've never heard. The style that was incorporated was so fresh and new it sucked us all in from the beginning. I said to myself, "I'm witnessing a brand new DJ group that is going to take the EDM scene by storm." A couple short years later, they did just that, bigger and better than ever.
Needless to say I’m a huge fan in all aspects of the group. They do a tremendous job in entertaining people to the fullest. I highly recommend making it to a show and supporting their work. I'd pay any ticket price to catch their show. They deserve it and it's worth every penny. They are always an amazing live show. Always.
Seriously though, how gorgeous are those girls? Whew.
Upmost respect, CJ
