Australian artist Ninajirachi continues her sonic evolution with the release of her full-length album on NLV Records, girl EDM (disc 1). While Australia has been a hotbed for talented artists in the electronic music scene for decades, a new generation is bubbling up to the top. One of the artists at the forefront of this new era is Ninajirachi, who hails from the country’s Central Coast and has been thrust into the spotlight with some monumental releases and performances. At the core of her style is what she defines as “girl EDM,” driven by her early influences in the scene that included the likes of Lady Gaga, SOPHIE, Grimes, and Porter Robinson.

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.
