Ejae, the songwriter behind the Netflix record phenomenon “K-Pop Demon Hunters”, revealed her list of collaboration desires, including Lisa, Doja Cat, Raye and Maroon 5 of Blackpink.
The soundtrack of “K-Pop Demon Hunters”, for which Ejae acts as a vocal producer, lyricist and singer voice of the heroine of the film, Rumi, shattered the streaming records all over the world. Eight songs from the film’s album have drawn the best lists of iTunes songs and the project held the first place in 26 countries on Netflix, as well as guaranteeing the best positions on several album rankings. Like the singer’s voice of Rumi, Ejae guided the character through explosive rectors and moments of self-education, merging English and Korean texts to reflect the double legacy of Rumi.

After training with SMANTERINMENT and Penning Hits for shows such as Red Velvet, twice and APA, he moved focus At “K-Pop Demon Hunters” at the end of 2020. The team of manufacturers of TheblackLabel and the composer Ian Eisentrath provided the history of history and instrumental traces, while Ejae and the co-writer Mark Sonnenblick made melodies and texts that have captured the balance of the supernatural action film and pop theaters.
As a question about the writing process of successful singles such as “Golden”, who claimed first place in the Billboard charts, Ejae recalled that he built the melody on the road for an appointment by the dentist, then recording a demo near in a few minutes from the reception of the instrumental. The immediacy of his creative spark exemplifies the reason why veterans of the sector in events such as the Vma and the Iheartradio Festival have loudly asked to meet her, often citing her as a figure of inspiration for young songwriters.
Looking forward, Ejae underlined it collaboration feeds its growth as a writer and performer. “I would like to continue writing, continue to learn to improve and work with the writers I have always looked at,” he said.
By nameing Maroon 5, Lisa, Doja Cat and Raye, Ejae suggested that she has the ambition to fill K-pop with western pop, hip-hop and R&B, potentially introducing its unique cinematographic style to a wider global audience.
With “K-Pop Demon Hunters” that continues to dominate Conversations and playlists, the opening of Ejae to different music partnerships suggests that the next chapter of his career will further confuse the boundaries between East and West and will provide hymns at the top of the rankings that appeal to fanbase.
