Music career

On August 22, 2011, J.Fla created her YouTube channel, JFlaMusic, and uploaded her first song, a cover of Beyonce's "Halo".[3] Over the next five months she uploaded 15 more cover songs.

Subsequently, on February 17, 2012, a collection of 8 tracks entitled "JFla's Cover 1" was released on the internet.

In mid-2013, she released her official debut album, an original EP titled Babo Kateun Story (바보 같은 Story).[4][5]

Then, from late 2014 to mid-2016, she released at least six additional EPs (mostly covers of songs in English, but also some original, Korean language songs).

Early in 2017, she released her first full-length covers album, Blossom.[6] By November of the same year, she had released five additional EPs and her YouTube channel had surpassed 5 million subscribers.

80 tracks from more than 10 of her EPs were then re-released in April 2018 as Rose: The J.Fla Collection. Also during 2018, J.Fla released two all-new full-length albums, covering a diverse array of artists, including Taylor Swift, ABBA, The Chainsmokers, Ariana Grande, and Queen.

On November 16, 2018, J.Fla became the first independent South Korean YouTuber to achieve more than 10 million subscribers.[7][8] She now has more than 16 million subscribers.[9]

In late 2019, J.Fla released several new original songs with accompanying music videos, starting with "Good Vibe" on September 6.
