Charley (chandol) Yang (BoyWithUke)

Backstory Charley Yang on August 25, 2002, in Daegu, South Korea, moved to the United States at a young age very poor and grew up playing classical instruments before discovering his love for songwriting and production. While studying in school, he began posting short ukulele-based songs on TikTok under the name BoyWithUke, always wearing a glowing LED mask to stay anonymous and let his music speak for itself. His emotional lyrics and lo-fi alt-pop sound quickly gained attention, leading to viral hits like “Toxic” and “IDGAF,” and albums such as Serotonin Dreams and Lucid Dreams. As his fanbase grew, he signed with Republic Records and became one of the most recognizable masked artists online. In late 2023, Charley revealed his face and later retired the BoyWithUke persona in 2024 to start fresh as Chandol, focusing on more mature, personal, and unfiltered music that reflects his real identity and experiences.
