Kim Petras (born 27 August 1992) is a German singer and songwriter, currently based in Los Angeles.
Petras was born and raised in Cologne, where she had become subject of media coverage after undergoing gender transition at a young age.
Following her early success, Petras released a slew of digital singles which would later comprise her unofficial body of work known as "Era 1". On 1 October 2018, Petras released the EP Turn Off the Light, Vol. 1. Her first studio album Clarity was released on 28 June 2019.
On her songwriting, Petras told Noisey that "there's something about making a song that everybody can sing and remember, and when you listen to it the first time you already know the words by the second chorus, like you've always known the song. I'm obsessed with that idea." She commented on themes, stating "I write about boys, heartbreak, sex, having fun and the things that I go through." Following her debut, Petras was dubbed as "the new princess of pop" by Nasty Galaxy.
