The group has plans for a full-length album and a headlining tour in the fall. How they started. Krewella posted its first tracks to SoundCloud in Family history. Getting that sound. Krewella's style draws from a variety of EDM subgenres -- house, dubstep, moombahton, drum 'n' bass -- combined with a pop melodic sensibility. Like swaying, going half time, jumping around. The metal background helps make Krewella what it is. If you go to our SoundCloud or our Facebook , we have so many more songs.
Building an audience. Krewella played its first show at a local Top 40 club. It felt like an experiment. Those 10 people that would go there would come and they wouldn't care that the room wasn't packed, they'd just be dancing all by themselves.
Sometimes she'll swap out with Yasmine. Jahan: My business partner, best friend, and sister Yasmine is quite like my wifey.
Yasmine: Lots and lots of song babies. And one dog baby. But no human babies. Jahan: I would love to raise a couple turds some day. But kids deserve the world, and right now I want focus on giving my heart to my family, loved ones, Krewella fans, my physical and mental well-being, my career, artistic pursuits, and the community.
Jahan: I love the morning, especially at our home in LA where I have a clear view of the sun painting the San Gabriels. Preparing breakfast and slowly cherishing each bite of egg and avocado with a sip of coffee truly fulfills me, followed by 30 minutes of journaling on a good day. For my own sanity, I had to discipline myself by not looking at my email or social media during this morning ritual. It is a sacred time of the day when I am collecting my thoughts. There is so much magic in our environment and nature that can facilitate creative ideas and different perspectives.
Jahan: Fellow Pakistani, Malala Yousafzai. She is a decade younger than me. Through the bloodshed, loss of loved ones, poverty, and physical pain she has endured by being a target of terrorist groups in her home country, she continues to fight for education and the rights of children.
I admire her perseverance, fearlessness, and wisdom. Learning about her experiences puts my life into perspective. Jahan: My father, Sohail. I have watched him transform throughout the years in such a graceful way. My father has a sense of curiosity about life that always leaves him yearning to learn more about the world and people around him. He is constantly preaching kindness, open-mindedness, and reminds me to be aware of my ego and intentions. Jahan: My Kindle.
It is therapy when I feel overwhelmed with life, a companion during sleepless nights, and a resource to learn about the world when I am traveling. Having instant access to a plethora of reading material truly makes it a portal to the world. Yasmine: It was a lifelong pipe dream until the age of 18 when I decided with my bandmates to throw caution to the wind after I graduated high school. Jahan: In , I was around 20 years old during the transition of Krewella as a hobby to a full-time project.
We started around but it took years to finally gain the courage to quit everything that was distracting us from creating music as a full-time career.
Our former third member of Krewella, Kris Trindl, and manager Nathan Lim, inspired Yasmine and me to write and rehearse every single day to grow and develop ourselves as artists. Jahan: Yasmine and I lived in a loft in the meat-district of Chicago where we wrote everyday and practiced DJing before touring took off and signing with Columbia.
That neighborhood had a lot of character; imagine meat packers with blood smeared on their white coats while lugging pounds of raw meat out of trucks, bleach filled streets, factories and warehouses, crackheads pushing around stolen grocery carts…it was slowly being gentrified on our way out.
The biting cold during winter builds character. I think facing the brutal winters of Chicago gave us thick skin to handle haters. Why did you decide to start your career to change the world? Jahan: After this past year, I finally realized what success means to me.
