9 December 2025 - Ninajirachi - All I Am

I am really really happy that American Autumn is finally over.   Not because I didn't love it, but because, while you were listening to my American music posts, I was discovering music from literally everywhere else.

Take Girl EDM superstar from Australia, Ninajiraci.  Her stage name is a combination of her real name - which is Nina Wilson - and her favorite Pokémon - which is Jirachi. 

Can't deny he's adorable

As I write this, I know that her debut album, I Love My Computer, is shortlisted for won the Australian Music Prize (think Mercury Prize but for Australia), and she also is nominated for eight ARIA Awards (think Junos, but for Australia), which is more than any other artist this year.  By the time you read this, you're going to know if she won any of that (I predict at least 4 of the ARIAs and the AMP win for her, and I will honestly tell you if I got it right) (Update: she won 3 ARIAs and the AMP).   

She's making compelling EDM with smart and fresh lyrics, and she's poised to be a worldwide superstar. 

By the way, she's touring, and I hope we get better live footage of her by the time we actually publish, but for now, have a YouTube Short. 

Even here, you can tell she brings a TON of energy.
