Biography
Kim Petras (born on August 27, 1992 in Cologne) is a German, LA-based singer-songwriter and model, whose irresistible amalgamation of electro-pop and EDM earned her the nickname of âthe new princess of pop.â Heavily influenced by 1980s Italo disco and early 2000s pop, she started releasing music under her own name in 2008. In 2011, she released her first EP, One Piece of Tape via Bionic Ballroom. She spent the next few years honing her craft and fine-tuning her sound with the help of several top-tier producers, a process that culminated with the release of the hit single âI Donât Want It at Allâ in 2017. Featuring an infectious electro groove and summery vibes, the track went viral on streaming platforms and received extensive media coverage. After making a guest appearance on Charli XCXâs Pop 2 mixtape, she released the singles âFadedâ and âHeart to Break,â and the Halloween-themed Turn Off the Light, Vol. 1 in 2018. Following the trio of singles â1,2,3 Dayz Up,â âIf U Think About Me,â and âHomework,â she released her official studio debut, Clarity, in 2019 to great critical acclaim. The album, which spawned the singles âAll I Do Is Cryâ and âSweet Spot,â was ranked 4th on the New York Timesâ Best Albums of that year and 7th on Billboardâs US Heatseekers Album chart. A subsequent tour throughout the US and Europe followed, after which she released Turn Off the Light, her sophomore effort. In 2020, the dance floor-ready âMalibuâ saw the light of day, marking the start of a new chapter in the German singerâs career. 2021 ushered in another new stage in her career, with a signing to Republic Records and a surprise EP, Slut Pop, arriving on the label in 2022. Then in 2023, she struck gold with "Unholy," a collaborative single with Sam Smith that zoomed to the top of the charts in multiple countries worldwide, becoming her first taste of the US Billboard Hot 100. The song won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2023, making Kim Petras the first openly transgender artist to receive the award and the second transgender woman to win a Grammy following Wendy Carlos in 1970. In 2023, Kim Petras teamed up with Nicki Minaj for the "Alone" single, which cracked the US Billboard Hot 100.
