Music career

Early career / White Zombie

Yseult played bass in White Zombie for 11 years before they disbanded in 1998.[1] In 1996, she participated along with Jay Yuenger in the tribute band to the Germs called Ruined Eye. After the breakup of White Zombie in September 1998, Yseult started playing bass for the band Rock City Morgue. She formed the Famous Monsters in 1995 which also featured Katie Lynn Campbell, bassist for the Toronto-based C'mon.

Post-White Zombie

On November 1, 2010, Yseult released I'm in the Band, a book containing tour diaries and photos as well as detailing her eleven years spent as a member of White Zombie.[3]

When Rock N Roll Experience Magazine asked Yseult in 2011 why she was not involved in the White Zombie box set her reply was, "It was a little bit of a fuck you to me & J. which was kinda weird since we were 2/3rd's of the band but anyways."[4]

Before her days as a bassist, Yseult attended North Carolina School of the Arts for high school where she studied fine art and ballet. [5] Yseult earned her degree in graphic design at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. [5] Yseult also began showing her photography in galleries in 2002.

Gallery shows include exhibitions in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Yseult has also been a member of The Rawk Show – Fine Art by Musicians, in Texas among other shows.

In 2018 Yseult debuted a photography exhibit, entitled "They All Axed for You", at the Boyd Satellite Gallery in New Orleans.[7]
