Jane Remover

Remover grew up with her parents and twin sister in northern New Jersey.[2] She attended The College of New Jersey for one semester before leaving to pursue music full-time.[4] She came out publicly as a trans woman in 2022.[3]

Remover's interest in music production stems back as far as 2011, inspired by dubstep producers like Skrillex, Kill the Noise, and Virtual Riot.[5] She would later go on to produce different styles of EDM in the mid-2010s, citing Porter Robinson as her biggest influence.[6] From electronic music, Remover's production became more trap-centric in around 2018; she cited artists such as Trippie Redd, Earl Sweatshirt, and Tyler, the Creator as inspirations.[6] Guest production then became a large part of Remover's early career, with her being a member of multiple SoundCloud collectives such as PlanetZero and Graveem1nd. Her production gradually became more digicore oriented.[6]

In late 2019, Remover began self-producing and releasing her own works on SoundCloud. One of Remover's first solo releases, "What's My Age Again?", gained popularity after being shared on Twitter.[6] Her second EP, Teen Week, was released on February 26, 2021 under the pseudonym Dltzk.[7] The track "Homeswitcher" featuring Kmoe, reached 100,000 streams on SoundCloud within the first two weeks of its release.[8]

After the release of several more non-album singles, Remover began teasing the release of her debut studio album, Frailty, and releasing singles for it in June 2021. After the release of the tracks "How to Lie", "Pretender", and "Search Party", Frailty was released via DeadAir Records on November 12, 2021.[9] The album was acclaimed by publications such as Pitchfork, who placed the album at #47 on their list of the best albums of 2021.[10]

On June 27, 2022, Remover announced the retirement of the Dltzk pseudonym, and introduced the name Jane Remover. On the same date, she released the single "Royal Blue Walls". In Remover's statement, she said "the stage name Dltzk has never sat right with [her]" and that it "reminds [her] of a period of [her] life [she'd] like to move past". She also announced that the Teen Week EP would be abridged, as she was uncomfortable with the project as it was originally released.[11] This change went into effect on October 10, 2022, and four songs were removed from the EP.[7] Remover's second single released as Jane Remover, "Contingency Song", was released on November 16, 2022.[12] She was the opening act for Brakence's Hypochondriac tour from November 26 to December 20, 2022.[13]

On August 23, 2023, Remover shared the single "Lips" from her second album, Census Designated, which was released on October 20.[14] On September 20, the album's title track, "Census Designated", was released along with an accompanying music video directed by Quadeca.[15]
