Yaelokre is the musical and artistic project of Filipino songwriter and illustrator Keath Óskar de Mesa, also known by the stage name Keath Ósk. The project was launched in 2024 and quickly gained online attention through its combination of music, visual art, and folklore-inspired fantasy storytelling.
Yaelokre is built around a fictional world called Meadowlark, featuring interconnected characters and narratives expressed through songs and illustrations. The project’s central characters, known as “The Lark,” are presented through music, animation, and a visual identity that combines pastoral imagery, theatrical costumes, and folk-fantasy aesthetics.
Musically, Yaelokre blends indie folk and acoustic music with layered harmonies, atmospheric arrangements, and strong storytelling elements. The project is especially recognized for its conceptual approach, where songs function as parts of a larger narrative universe. Among the best-known songs are Harpy Hare, And the Hound, and Neath the Grove Is a Heart.
The project gained major popularity through social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, where its music and visual content became widely shared among audiences interested in alternative folk music, fantasy aesthetics, and independent online art culture. Yaelokre also attracted attention for its semi-anonymous, character-driven presentation, focusing more on storytelling and atmosphere than on a traditional pop-star image.
Beyond music, the project includes illustration, character design, and worldbuilding elements, making Yaelokre a hybrid of musical performance, digital art, and internet-based narrative culture. As a result, it has become one of the most notable emerging names in the contemporary alternative folk scene online
