Ninajirachi’s hot streak shows no signs of cooling off.
The DJ, songwriter and electronic music artist adds to her collection the triple j album of the year and Australian music video of the year, two of five awards handed out Wednesday, Nov. 12 by the state-funded youth network.
The 26-year-old musician nabbed the top award, album of the year, for her debut full-length effort I Love My Computer (via NLV Records), which beat out a ten-strong shortlist of LPs by the likes of Tame Impala, Mallrat, Spacey Jane, OneFour and others.

Ninajirachi also collected the top music video honor, for “F*** My Computer,” directed by Ball Bass John.
It’s all happening for Ninajirachi, known to her friends and family as Nina Wilson. Just last week, she collected the coveted Australian Music Prize (AMP), and its A$50,000 ($32,800) winner’s check, for her studio collection. And there’s a strong chance to add more when the 2025 ARIA Awards roll on next Wednesday, Nov. 19, where she’s competing for a leading eight pointy trophies.
After wrapping up her Australian tour in the early stages of 2026, the rising star will embark on her biggest north American jaunt yet, including a first-ever slot at Coachella.
“I really just had a good time making an album. I hope I can keep making albums that feels as good as this one did,” she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation following her AMP win. “I’ve been making music for a long time and I could have never predicted what this year would look like. So it’s hard to say (what the future holds). I just hope it keeps feeling as fun as it has been recently.”
Now in its 21st year, the J Awards celebrate the cream of Australia’s crop of recorded musicians, live performers, emerging talent and more, and coincide with triple j’s Ausmusic Month. This year, 26 local artists were nominated for the J Awards.
Other winners announced by the ABC, parent of triple j, included Folk Bitch Trio (Unearthed artist of the year), Grammy and Brit Award-nominated punk rock act Amyl and The Sniffers (Double J Australian artist of the year) and SPEED (Australian live act of the year).
