Nina Jo Wilson (born 10 August 1999), better known by her stage name Ninajirachi, is an Australian electronic DJ and producer from the Central Coast, New South Wales.

Contents

Her debut album, I Love My Computer , was released on 8 August 2025 via Nina Las Vegas' record label. It received critical acclaim and swiftly propelled her to national recognition. [1] 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

Wilson grew up in Kincumber on the Central Coast. [2] She attended Gosford High School. [3] While in high school Wilson worked at Yogurtland. [4]

Wilson taught herself electronic music production as a teenager, using FL Studio. [2] Her stage name is a combination of her first name and Jirachi, a Pokémon. [5]

Career

Wilson achieved breakthrough success with her 2017 single "Pure Luck" featuring Freya Staer, which received high rotation on triple j. [6] Nina was a finalist in triple j’s Unearthed High competition in both 2016 and 2017. [7] [8] Her third career single "Warm Fire Lightning" was released in February 2018. [9] She signed with NLV Records and released her first single on that label, "Pathetic", in August 2018. [10]

She released her debut EP Lapland in 2019. [11] 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. [12]

In 2021, her collaborative EP True North with Kota Banks was named the 8th best album of the year by The Atlantic .

In 2021, Wilson developed the official demo project for Ableton Live 11, which was included for all users with the software's release, providing insights into her production techniques and demonstrating new features like comping, MPE, and updated audio effects. [13] A mixed tape titled Second Nature was released on 11 November 2022. [14]

In June 2023, Wilson released "Shypop" with ISOxo. [15] Wilson's fourth EP 4x4 was released in November 2023. [16] Ninajirachi's fifth EP, Girl EDM was released on 14 May 2024. [17] In April 2025, 4×4 and Girl EDM were released as part of Record Store Day. [18]

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. [19] The album peaked at number 12 on the ARIA Charts, [20] and went on to garner eight nominations at the 2025 ARIA Awards, the most of any artist that year, [21] winning her three. [22] 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." [23]

Artistry

Wilson cites "nature, fantasy, science fiction, ideas of occult and magic" as influences on her music. [24]
