As a prodigy whose musical journey took her from the serene Central Coast to the bustling streets of New York City, Ninajirachi shared the stories and experiences that have shaped her unique sound and personal brand.
Born and raised amidst natural wonders, Ninajirachi’s youthful days were filled with explorations that intertwined nature, technology, and fantasy—a harmonious blend vividly reflected in her breakout mixtape, “Second Nature,” and subsequent project “girl EDM.” Her artistic tapestry weaves together experimental soundscapes, 2010s-inspired club beats, and melodious lines that mirror the vastness of the sky and sea. It all culminates in her debut album, “I Love My Computer,” which breaks through the confines of genre, evoking both reality and the digital wonders that expand beyond virtual boundaries.
