    About

    Nina Jo Wilson, known as Ninajirachi, is an Australian electronic music producer and DJ. Her 2025 debut album, I Love My Computer, debuted at number one on the ARIA dance album charts and earned widespread critical praise. At the 2025 ARIA Music Awards, she won Best Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist, and Best Independent Release, and also took home the Australian Music Prize and Australian Album of the Year at the J Awards. Her sound, a glitchy blend of pop and electronic beats, draws comparisons to Sophie and Flume. She performs high-energy live sets with custom visuals at festivals like Splendour in the Grass, Lollapalooza, and Pitchfork Music Festival. As of 2026, she continues to tour internationally and build a devoted fanbase.

    Early Life & Background

    Ninajirachi grew up in Kincumber, a small town on the Central Coast of New South Wales. She played clarinet in her primary school band and would record and edit her playing in GarageBand. At age 12, she discovered instrumental dance music by accident: a YouTube tutorial on tie-dyeing denim featured Madeon's Pop Culture mash-up in the background. It was the first time she heard music without a prominent vocal, and she became obsessed with understanding the production. She would search phrases like what is making this noise to learn about synthesizers, since she didn't know the terminology yet. She also listened to Kylie Minogue, thanks to her mother, and heard the radio in the car with her father. Her favorite childhood songs were Don't Cha by the Pussycat Dolls and 4ever by the Veronicas. She became a Triple J Unearthed High finalist in both 2016 and 2017, gaining early exposure. She signed with Nina Las Vegas's label NLV Records and began releasing music officially at age 18.

    Career Growth

    Ninajirachi's breakthrough came with her 2021 collaborative project True North with Kota Banks, which The Atlantic named the 8th best album of that year. In 2022, she released the mixtape Second Nature and played major US festivals including Lollapalooza and Electric Daisy Carnival. Her debut album I Love My Computer arrived in August 2025, debuting at number one on the ARIA dance album charts. Singles included All I Am, iPod Touch, and Fuck My Computer. The album earned coverage from Billboard, Dazed, and Stereogum, and praise from Anthony Fantano and Derick Gee. At the 2025 ARIA Awards, she received eight nominations, the most of any artist, and won Best Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist, and Best Independent Release. She also won the Australian Music Prize, Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the NSW Music Prize, and Australian Album of the Year at the 2025 J Awards. She has remixed tracks for Princess Nokia, Deadmau5, and The Neptunes.

The release of her debut album, I Love My Computer, sparked widespread critical acclaim and solidified her status as a leading voice in Australian electronic music, while her collaboration with Porter Robinson on WannaCry marked a definitive milestone that resonated across unexpected audiences. This partnership, particularly its live debut at Lollapalooza, stands as a key moment in her growing reputation, though the culture around her remains focused on her rapid rise rather than legendary crowd disruptions or folklore.

    Interesting Facts and Legends

    Her stage name fuses her first name with Jirachi, a beloved Pokémon character. Nina discovered electronic music via a tie-dyeing tutorial at age twelve, eventually recording her clarinet lessons from primary school band in GarageBand before she even understood production terminology. In those early days, she would simply search what is making this noise to identify synthesizer sounds. Her childhood soundtrack featured Don't Cha by the Pussycat Dolls and 4ever by the Veronicas, alongside influences drawn from nature, fantasy, science fiction, and the occult. She describes her genre as girl EDM, a tongue-in-cheek nod to 2010s electronica, having learned production entirely through online research without industry connections. A major legend in her short career emerged with the late July 2026 release of WannaCry, a collaborative single with Porter Robinson that generated immediate industry attention and introduced her sound to new listeners. Fans still retell the story of the song's live premiere at Lollapalooza, where the energy of the performance cemented her reputation as a festival headliner. Additionally, her debut album I Love My Computer secured eight Australian Independent Music Awards and reached number one on the Australian album charts, marking a historic commercial breakthrough.
