Jona Bechtolt launched Yacht in 2002, establishing an American dance-pop project that quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach to music, technology, and philosophy. As a solo artist, Bechtolt released three albums: ‘Super Warren MMIV’ in 2004, ‘Mega’ in 2005, and ‘I Believe in You. Your Magic Is Real.’ in 2007. During this early period, Yacht engaged in diverse cultural projects, including a performance for Rhizome’s Crap-tops vs Laptops show in 2006, an appearance at the Museum of Modern Art’s P.S.
These recent works underscore Yacht’s ongoing commitment to pushing creative boundaries and engaging with contemporary themes through their unique dance-pop sound.
