Ejae Steps Into the Spotlight With Debut Single ‘In Another World’
After making waves as the voice and composer behind the “KPop Demon Hunters” breakout song “Golden,” Ejae is stepping into the spotlight with her debut solo single, “In Another World,” released Oct. 24. The track marks a new chapter for the artist, known for crafting soundtracks that blend cinematic emotion with pop sensibility.
“I’ve written so many songs that never made it out into the world,” Ejae shared on Instagram. “Now I want to give them life.” Her post carried a sense of quiet confidence and nostalgia, fitting for an artist who has spent years working behind the scenes.
Best known as the voice of Rumi in the hit Netflix film, Ejae reflected on her journey. “People started calling me the artist my 11-year-old self dreamed of being,” she said. “For a long time, I thought I wasn’t meant to be on stage. But I’ve learned that being an artist simply means expressing your heart, and my way has always been songwriting.”
Earlier this month, Ejae joined Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna on “Saturday Night Live” for the first live performance of “Golden,” which has topped 5.3 million views online and remains in the top five on the U.K. Official Singles Chart, signaling that Ejae’s golden moment is just beginning.
