About this episode

EJAE discusses her songwriting journey and the creative process behind KPop Demon Hunters' music.

This is hands down one of my favorite interviews we’ve ever done! EJAE is the voice and songwriter behind the music of KPop Demon Hunters, and in this conversation, she takes us inside the early demos and original versions that brought the film’s songs to life. For the first time ever, EJAE breaks down how these songs started, how they evolved, and what it actually takes to go from rough ideas to music that reaches billions. We listen to early versions, talk through creative decisions, and unpack the emotional weight behind writing these songs. But this episode is not just about demos. It’s about her journey of being a trainee, to facing setbacks, to becoming one of the most impactful creative voices in modern music. It's truly amazing how similar EJAE's story is to the character she voices, Rumi. EJAE opens up about doubt, imposter syndrome, persistence, and trusting your instincts even when the path is unclear. This conversation is for YOU if: - You’re an artist, songwriter, or producer trying to find your voice - You want to hear how songs really start before they become finished records - You’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or unsure if your work matters - You love KPop, film…
