Known for her larger-than-life performances, GRAMMY-winning, international pop sensation and critically acclaimed songwriter Kim Petras has become one of music's most buzzed-about talents, self-styling a massively dynamic career with a string of critically acclaimed singles and projects, more than two billion global streams, sold-out headline tours of North America and Europe, and lavish praise from major mainstream publications and tastemaking outlets worldwide. Her debut album Feed The Beast features her steamy smash "Alone," featuring diamond-selling hip-hop icon Nicki Minaj, the #1 global platinum smash hit "Unholy," with Sam Smith, and viral fan favorites like the body-positive "Coconuts" and beat-heavy single "brrr," which she performed on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Gracing the covers of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Out Magazine's Pride Issue, and WWD, Kim is continuing a milestone year that began with her first GRAMMY Award for Best Pop/Duo Group performance for "Unholy" with Sam Smith and her debut on the GRAMMY stage with one of the best performances of the night alongside Sam. "Unholy" rocketed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the Billboard Global 200 Chart, Spotify and Apple Music worldwide charts and marked a historic first in LGBTQ+ chart and GRAMMY history as Kim and Sam became the first openly transgender solo artist and non-binary solo artist, respectively, to ascend to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and win a GRAMMY in the category of Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. After making her Saturday Night Live and BRIT Awards debuts performing "Unholy" with Sam, Kim was honored with the Billboard Women In Music Chartbreaker Award after receiving the Variety Hitmakers Innovator of the Year Award alongside Sam.
After years of triumphing as an entirely independent artist, Kim signed to Republic Records / Amigo Records and began a brand-new era which included her sex-positive EP Slut Pop. After breaking out with her 2017 single "I Don't Want It At All" (a #1 hit on Spotify's Global Viral 50 Chart), "Heart to Break" became her first Top 40 smash. Her 2019 project Clarity featured lead single "Icy" and led to her first ever headline tour which sold out in minutes during pre-sale. Her Halloween-themed project TURN OFF THE LIGHT included standout tracks "There Will Be Blood" and "Close Your Eyes" and was followed by her 2020 summer hit "Malibu." Kim has also drawn global attention from the fashion world, attended the Met Gala twice, and has collaborated with the likes of Nicki Minaj, Sam Smith, Charli XCX, Meghan Trainor, Kygo, Cheat Codes, Madison Beer, K/DA, and more. She was also personally selected by Ariana Grande to appear on the Charlie's Angels soundtrack.
