Rising Korean artist Dane is gaining global recognition with a debut performance on the GRAMMYs' official YouTube content series ReImagined — a rare feat for a Korean musician.
🎙️ First Korean Artist on GRAMMY's ReImagined
Dane's participation marks a significant step toward the global R&B market. His ReImagined performance — a reinterpretation of Giveon's Heartbreak Anniversary — was released worldwide on May 20 via the Recording Academy's official YouTube channel.
The ReImagined series, curated and produced directly by the Recording Academy, invites a new generation of artists to reimagine GRAMMY-nominated tracks. Dane's soulful vocal delivery and minimalist arrangement offered a fresh, heartfelt take on the original track's themes of love and loss.
🎧 From "Selfie" to "She Said" — Dane's Storytelling Evolves
Dane made his debut in 2024 with Selfie, a single that portrayed post-breakup reflections with emotional nuance. His 2025 follow-up, She Said, deepened his storytelling with a raw portrayal of heartache and healing, striking a chord with both Korean and global listeners.
The song has been widely featured on curated playlists and music discovery platforms, helping Dane build a loyal and growing fanbase.
