Nina Kraviz (Russian: Нина Кравиц, romanized: Nina Kravits) is a Russian DJ, music producer and singer.[1]

Early life and career

[edit]

Kraviz was born and raised in Irkutsk, Siberia, Russia. She moved to Moscow to study dentistry where she later gained her residency.[1][2][3] Kraviz also worked in a number of roles in the early 2000s before she started her music career, including fixing "cosmonauts' teeth", hosting a local Irkutsk radio show, writing for a fanzine, and holding a club residency on Friday nights.[1][3]

In 2005, Kraviz was accepted into the Red Bull Music Academy in Seattle, however couldn't attend as she couldn't obtain a visa, attending the following year in Melbourne instead.[1] By 2008, she was playing a regular night at the Propaganda Club in Moscow.[1]

Kraviz released her self-titled debut album in February 2012 through the Rekids record label, to mixed-positive reviews.[4][5][6] She started her own record label in 2014, named трип (English: Trip).[7][8] She mixed the forty-eighth DJ-Kicks mix album, which was released in January 2015.[9][10]

Kraviz took part in writing the music for the 2020 game Cyberpunk 2077. She also voiced her cameo in the game itself, in Russian and English versions.[11] In 2021, along with other artists like Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero, and Marcel Dettmann, she participated in PX099: 100 Years Of Colombia: a techno compilation with tracks from the artists on the scene with the intention of raising awareness about Colombia’s social unrest.[12]

In 2023, Jean-Michel Jarre collaborated with Kraviz on the remake of his Sex in the Machine Take 2 remake. [13]
