Since appearing on American Idol in 2014 and realizing a life of conventionality was not for her, LA pop singer-songwriter Remi Wolf has graduated from USC Thornton School of Music, released a series of EPs (2019’s You’re a Dog!, 2020’s I’m Allergic to Dogs!, and 2021’s We Love Dogs!), scored a viral hit on TikTok (“Photo ID”), and signed a deal with Island Records.
