Listen Later

In this candid episode, Yung Kai joins Erik Zachary moments after stepping off stage from his first-ever live performance—not just in the U.S., but anywhere in the world. The rising artist opens up about the surreal experience of hearing a crowd sing back the lyrics to his viral hit “Blue,” the emotional whirlwind of rapid success, and how TikTok and Reels propelled his music into the spotlight.


Yung Kai shares the story behind the now-iconic “Blue” music video, the unexpected success it found during the holiday season, and how his songwriting is influenced by emotional journaling, anime like Blue Box, and dramas such as When I Fly Toward You. From self-producing tracks in his bedroom to dreaming of scoring K-dramas, this episode captures the unfiltered essence of a breakout artist on the brink of something big.


Whether you’re already a fan or just discovering Yung Kai, this episode offers a rare glimpse into a star being born—in real time.
