Yozmit is a Two-Spirit singer-songwriter, interdisciplinary performance artist, and costume designer. The self-given name Yozmit means 'myth about one’s self' : Through her ritualistic performance art, Yozmit combines theater, dance, pop culture, fashion, gender identity, mythology, and shamanism onto a single canvas. She sees her art as a form of research that helps define the unknown mysteries of her universe. She is currently working on a DoYou project - awareness-based performance art campaign. DoYou means 'Do'ing 'You' - a process of becoming fully self-realized and acting upon by balancing the Sacred Feminine and The Masculine using the gender and identity as a subject. With this dualistic approach, Yozmit utilizes her art that is presented to a mainstream audience as a medium of healing of the human consciousness.
Yozmit studied and worked in fashion in the beginning of her professional career but rediscovered herself as a performance artist after being trained and performed with Rachel Rosenthal, Thomas Leabhart (Etienne Decroux technique), Laurie Cameron, Seo Hoonjung (lineage of Korean intangible cultural asset of pansori ;Yi Il- joo), Ji Yoonja (Gayageum Buyngchang), Takuya Muramatsu from Dairakudakan. Yozmit is also a scholarship recipient of the American Dance Festival (ADF).
