“We always had music playing from The Doors to Led Zeppelin to Technotronic to ABBA. “All three of us came from different directions but all three of us were raised in very musically-aware households,” Yousaf says. Trindl began playing the guitar at the age of 10 and was in a metal band when he first met the Yousaf sisters. Jahan started her musical career by performing and singing in choirs, while her sister, Yasmine performed in an indie band. then we’ll see group a Muslim girls with their heads covered and it is so cool to see different people from different religious and ethnic backgrounds of all ages coming together.” “We will see gay couples making out in the crowd. It’s this genre that unites people and we are first-hand witness of that,” Yousaf says. I would say that is the important message in dance music. “On the entire album of Get Wet there is this underlying message of unity and togetherness and acceptance. “This album has so much more emotion than our previous work and that’s because we have gained so many more experiences. I think because we’ve spent so much more time we’ve really developed and matured as songwriters,” Yousaf says.
Each song went through many phases of production. “We spent so much more time on this album crafting every single lyric. Yousaf explains that the new tracks are deeper than anything they’ve ever done before. The album follows up their two previous EPs. Late last month Krewella released their first album on Columbia Records Get Wet. I told myself I have to come back here again.” “The next morning we flew out at about seven in the morning and as we are driving out of the city and we’re crossing this bridge, I was just looking at landscape and it looked like a picture that is on a greeting card. “We flew in at night and our flight was delayed so we got into the Vancouver show about 45 minutes late and we were so happy because when we got there people actually stuck around,” she says. The trio’s last visit, although brief, made Yousaf yearn for more of the city’s natural beauty. Krewella’s performance is not the first time the Chicago-based band have been to Vancity. I’m so excited to be back in the city and play new music for the fans,” Yousaf says. “We actually have a few days off so that we can chill and hangout around the city. Tonight Krewella will be performing in Vancouver at Celebrities Nightclub with Seven Lions and Candyland. “We still feel like we have a long ways to go and it is the beginning for us to the outside people who think we’re just this group that popped up out of nowhere and made it overnight.” “No one of us have this feeling like we made it,” Yousaf says. It was the moment we signed where they said we can stop worrying about our kids not having a future.”ĭespite signing the biggest deal of their lives, Krewella are well aware of the long road ahead of them.

“That was also verification for our parents that we had a legitimate career.
“Signing a record deal was so important to us because it gave us a support system,” Yousaf says. As the ink dried on the contract, they no longer had to worry about how they were going to pay their rent. Krewella, comprised of Jahan, her younger sister Yasmine and friend Kris Tindl, had just signed to Columbia Records. “My sister and I were crying that night,” Jahan Yousaf says. With the simple stroke of a pen all of the hard work, sacrifices and struggles for electro-dance group Krewella finally paid off.
