Ninajirachi

Nina Jo Wilson grew up on the Central Coast of New South Wales and built her stage name, Ninajirachi, out of her own first name and Jirachi, a Pokémon, which is a decent clue to the playful, extremely online spirit of her records. The Australian producer, singer and DJ makes glittering, maximal electro house, the kind that works as well in headphones on a train as it does at 2am on a festival field.

Her 2025 debut album, I Love My Computer, is the one that blew the doors open. Next to that title, songs like "iPod Touch", "Delete" and "Fuck My Computer" make the relationship status with the machine look complicated at best, and the whole thing is sweet, sharp and loud about it. The critics fell hard, and the record carried her to an international audience.

Then came the trophies. At the 2025 ARIA Music Awards she led the field with eight nominations, more than anyone else that year, and walked off with Best Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist and Best Independent Release. The Australian Music Prize followed, along with Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the NSW Music Prize and Australian Album of the Year at the J Awards. The album came out on NLV Records.
