Bio

Kim Petras (prononcé en allemand : [ˈpeːtʁas], en anglais : [ˈpɛtɹəs]), née le 27 août 1992 à Bonn, en Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie, est une autrice-compositrice-interprète allemande.

Adolescente, Petras se lance dans l'enregistrement d'un projet, l'EP One Piece of Tape (2011). Cinq ans plus tard, elle fonde sa propre marque de distribution en tant qu'artiste indépendante, BunHead Records. Dès lors, à partir de 2017 elle se met à commercialiser une ribambelle de pièces musicales, telles que I Don't Want It at All, Heart to Break et All the Time, qui lui permettent de cultiver un succès relativement progressif année après année.

Par la suite, elle publie son deuxième EP, Turn Off the Light (2018), premier volume de la série éponyme regroupant un ensemble de chansons ayant pour thème la fête d'Halloween, ainsi que sa première mixtape, intitulée Clarity (2019). Le second volume de Turn Off the Light sort quelques mois plus tard, en même temps qu'une édition spéciale compilant le volet paru un an plus tôt. En 2022 elle élargit son public avec sa participation à la chanson Unholy de Sam Smith, qui devient l'un des tubes de l'année en devenant notamment numéro 1 aux États-Unis et atteignant le top 5 en France, et permet aux deux artistes d'obtenir un Grammy dans la catégorie « meilleure prestation vocale pop d'un duo ou groupe » à la 65e cérémonie des Grammy Awards en 2023.

Son troisième album (et sixième en comptant ses mixtapes), et son premier auto-produit, Detour, paraît en 2026.

Kim Petras (; German: [ˈpeːtʁas]; born 27 August 1992) is a German singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. After gaining international media attention for transitioning as a teenager, she released her debut EP, One Piece of Tape (2011), and wrote tracks for Fergie, JoJo, Skylar Simone, and Twice. In 2017, Petras released her debut single "I Don't Want It at All", which charted at No. 54 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart. She followed this with her second EP, Turn Off the Light, Vol. 1 (2018), the mixtapes Clarity and Turn Off the Light (both 2019), and the single "How It's Done" (2019); the last of these featured on the soundtrack of Charlie's Angels. A further appearance on Kygo's "Broken Glass" (2020), charted at No. 13 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

In 2021, Petras signed a record deal with Dr. Luke's Amigo Records and Republic Records. That year, she became the first transgender act to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, and Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Her 2022 EP, Slut Pop, featured "Throat Goat", which went viral in 2023 after a sign language interpreter provided an explicit translation at Sydney WorldPride. She also collaborated with Sam Smith on "Unholy" that same year, which charted at number one in twenty countries including on the Billboard Hot 100 and subsequently won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, making her the first openly transgender woman to top that chart or win a Grammy in that category.

Petras followed "Unholy" with the single "Alone" (with Nicki Minaj), which peaked at No. 55 on the chart, and preceded her debut studio album, Feed the Beast (2023), which charted at No. 44 on the Billboard 200. Her second studio album, Problématique (2023), was issued that same year, and followed with the EP, Slut Pop Miami (2024). She independently released her third studio album, Detour (2026), following a departure from Republic regarding disputes of its release.

Petras has also released the tracks "Unlock It" (2017; with Charli XCX) and "Reminds Me" (2020), which have been covered by Piri & Tommy and by the Kid Laroi and Juice Wrld respectively, and made appearances in the films The Bitch Who Stole Christmas (2021) and This Is Me... Now: A Love Story (2024), the series Bridesman (2022), the Amazon Music documentary The Lead Up (2022), and a series two episode of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World (2024).
