Europe’s new pop princess was crowned this week when her first single premiered on British TV to be followed by her debut album next month.
The fact that she’s already received more than a million visitors on her MySpace page is just the start of it because even at just 16, stunning Kim Petras could give veterans like Madonna a run for their money when it comes to professionalism.
Not only did she write, perform and co-produce all her music – but she helped direct the videos and the photoshoots and hand-picked the team of experts backing her up.
“I’ve dreamed about this moment for so long I’m not going to back off now.”
“I know I’m young but I have strong feelings and ideas and I know what’s right for me,” she explained.
Her determination is all the more impressive when you realise that Kim really is no ordinary girl – and was actually born a boy.
Growing up in Germany, she knew for as long as she can remember that she was meant to be a girl.
“I felt like a girl, I thought of myself as a girl and everyone thought of me as a girl.”
“The rest of it was just an accident of Nature – and one I was determined to put right,” she said.
By the time she was 12, Kim had persuaded her parents Lutz and Konni to let her begin hormone therapy. And just three years later she became the youngest person in the world to undergo a full sex change operation. Now, that same determination has brought her to the edge of a glittering world wide showbiz career.
Her debut video ‘Die For You’will get its TV premiere on ITV’s This Morning programme later today (TUE).
It will be followed by another single next week and the album the following month. And the release is drawing the sort of showbiz sensation that normally accompanies established stars.
