Ninajirachi

Nina Jo Wilson (born 10 August 1999), known by her stage name, Ninajirachi, is an Australian electronic music producer, singer and DJ from Central Coast, New South Wales. Her stage name is a combination of her first name and Jirachi, a Pokémon. Her 2025 debut album, I Love My Computer, received critical acclaim and propelled her to international recognition.

At the 2025 ARIA Music Awards, she garnered eight nominations, the most of any artist that year, and won Best Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist, and Best Independent Release. She also won the Australian Music Prize, Breakthrough Artist of the Year for the NSW Music Prize, and Australian Album of the Year at the 2025 J Awards.

Early life

Nina Jo Wilson was born on August 10, 1999 and grew up in Kincumber, New South Wales. She played clarinet in her primary school band, which she would sometimes record playing and edit it in GarageBand. Wilson grew up listening to Kylie Minogue, as her mother was a devoted fan of the artist, and listened to the radio in the car with her father. Her favorite songs as a child were "Don't Cha" recorded by the Pussycat Dolls and "4ever" by the Veronicas. She said that the "absence of stimuli" in her small town forced her to use her imagination and be creative with music.

She attended Gosford High School. While in high school Wilson worked at Yogurtland. Wilson taught herself electronic music production as a teenager, using GarageBand and later FL Studio and Ableton. Initially, Wilson was creating music as a hobby, instead of for commercial success.

Wilson's musical inclinations were inspired variously by the EDM scene. She has stated that the first concert she ever attended was a show by American DJ Porter Robinson, with whom she later produced "WannaCry". She also credits French musician Madeon's "Pop Culture" mashup with kickstarting her interest in EDM, an experience that guided her in the writing of "iPod Touch". A year after its release, "iPod Touch" was remixed by Madeon to include some of the sounds he originally incorporated into "Pop Culture", his first remix since 2012.

Career Wilson achieved breakthrough success with her 2017 single "Pure Luck" featuring Freya Staer, which received high rotation on Triple J. Wilson was a finalist in Triple J's Unearthed High competition in both 2016 and 2017. Her third career single "Warm Fire Lightning" was released in February 2018. She signed with NLV Records and released her first single on that label, "Pathetic", in August 2018. She released her debut EP Lapland in 2019. In March 2020, Ninajirachi released "Cut the Rope", the lead single from her second EP Blumiere and first using her own vocals in the mix.

In 2021, Wilson's collaborative EP True North with Kota Banks was named the 8th best album of the year by The Atlantic. The same year, she developed the official demo project for Ableton Live 11, which was included for all users with the software's release. It provided insights into her production techniques as well as new features from Ableton, including comping, MPE, and updated audio effects. A mixtape titled Second Nature was released on 11 November 2022. In June 2023, Wilson released "Shypop" with ISOxo. Wilson's fourth EP 4x4 was released in November 2023. Ninajirachi's fifth EP, Girl EDM was released on 14 May 2024. In April 2025, 4×4 and Girl EDM were released as part of Record Store Day.

On 8 August 2025, Wilson's debut album I Love My Computer was released. The album follows a theme of Wilson's relationship with her computer and the internet. The album peaked at number 12 on the ARIA Charts, and went on to garner eight nominations at the 2025 ARIA Awards, the most of any artist that year, winning her three. According to Paul Cashmere, her single "Fuck My Computer" was the "trigger for a breakout year, pulling global ears toward her glitch-pop and IDM-leaning production," and propelling her into the role of "one of Australia's most important new electronic voices." The following year, Wilson performed at Coachella, where Porter Robinson made a surprise appearance to debut a collaboration. The collaboration, "WannaCry", was released on 29 July 2026.

Artistry Wilson cites "nature, fantasy, science fiction, ideas of occult and magic" as influences on her music.

Personal life and views Wilson expressed disdain for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in music in October 2025, saying that "the most fun part of making music is bumbling around and making mistakes", a part of the process which she said AI takes away. In June 2026, Wilson's 2025 song "All I Am" was featured in a commercial for Kylie Jenner's "Starfire" line of Meta smart glasses.

Wilson cites producer Flume as one of her heroes, and Alt-J as one of her favorite bands. She said that the latter's album An Awesome Wave was "seared into her brain" after listening it so much as a teenager.
