After a mindboggling sweep of awards in the back half of 2025, Ninajirachi is recharged and ready for action.
Speaking on the first episode of Odyssey TV, which dropped this week, the Australian EDM producer, singer and songwriter is clearly ready to take on the world.
Ninajirachi (real name: Nina Wilson) has come off a freakishly fruitful awards season in which almost everything she was nominated for, turned to glory.
Consider, in the space of several months, she collected multiple ARIA Awards, J Awards, the Australian Music Prize and the NSW Music Prize for breakthrough artist, all off the back of her debut album, I Love My Computer. And just this week, she added second prize in the 2025 Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition for “iPod Touch.”
“I just had a little break over New Year and had a chance to think about it. I found that I was reflecting on and processing things from July, August that I hadn’t even had a chance to think about because everything was happening for the first time and so quickly. I feel awesome,” she tells host Roxy Lola.
“I feel like I’ve had a lot of practice and I’m ready to play a million more shows.” She’s on he way. The rising Aussie star is currently in the United States for a weeks-long run of dates, followed by shows in Asia, the U.K. and Europe, and a lap of the festivals circuit, including her first-ever spot at Coachella.
For her Odyssey TV exclusive, Ninajirachi opened up on her “proudest” songwriting achievement (“’F—My Computer.’ It was so quick. It took about 20 minutes”), her favorite games (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, especially Explorers of Time and Darkness) and overcoming earlier insecurities with her singing voice.
“I just wanna keep doing it,” she tells Roxy of her career, performing and making music. “It’s so exciting, I’m having the best time ever, honestly.”
Odyssey TV is an initiative of Odyssey Sound Space, the podcast and curated playlist platform helmed by Lola, the music curator, editor and DJ. The new video interview series, or “time capsules,” as Lola describes them, will release new episodes every two weeks, spotlighting six of the most exciting Australian artists right now.
“I was excited to talk to today’s rising musicians in this candid way, so I tracked down different artists I love and met them in spaces where they felt completely themselves in,” she explains. “From there, we had natural, free-flowing conversations about the music they’ve been making and where they’re at on their journey.”
Originally launched in 2022 as a curated playlist project spotlighting rising artists, Odyssey Sound Space expanded in 2023 into the podcast Odyssey Sound Sessions.
