Growing up in rural Germany, Kim Petras would watch her sisters and friends receive communion at church, feeling excluded but also conflicted. "As someone who's been transgender my whole life, I never fit into [organized] religion," she says. "I had a lot of religious friends, and I would go to their First Communion and things like that, but I was never really accepted into that world because who I am opposes what is acceptable in religion." She feels lucky to have parents who never forced her to conform, "but everybody else had a chance to be religious, and I never did. So for me, it's been a lifelong struggle to find spirituality in other ways."
Like many, Petras turned to music, writing countless songs in her bedroom, and eventually selling a jingle to a laundry detergent company in her teens. Not too long after, the now-30-year-old moved to L.A. and began releasing music through her own imprint, BunHead, slowly building a legion of fans, charmed by her over-the-top, sex-positive pop. Last summer, she signed to Republic Records, and this past September, "Unholy," a collaboration with Sam Smith that explores themes of adultery and eroticism, shot to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart, and made Kim Petras a household name.
