Katrin Vogelová (born 10 August 1996 in Teplice, Czech Republic), better known by her stage name Katja Krasavice, is a German singer, rapper and former YouTuber.

Personal life

Katja Krasavice was born on August 10, 1996 in Teplice, to a Czech mother. While Krasavice was still a baby, the family moved to Liebschütz in Germany. At the age of 5, Krasavice lost her brother who suffered from thigh cancer. This incident caused her father to become an alcoholic and mistreat her mother. At the age of 11, she lost her other brother who committed suicide in prison. At a later point in her life, Krasavice testified in court against her father who sexually assaulted her friends. As a coping mechanism for her trauma, Krasavice developed an image based around her own sexual expression. Later in school, Krasavice was the victim of excessive bullying. She visited a Gymnasium (school) but didn't graduate.[1]

Career

Early career on YouTube

Katja Krasavice opened up her YouTube channel on March 29th, 2014. With her revealing outfits, unabashed embracement of porn culture, role as an advocate for plastic surgery and no holds barred open talk about sexuality, preferences and techniques, Krasavice initially became known as "the sex YouTuber" ("die Sex-YouTuberin") through her vlogs. Not without controversy, she quickly developed a big following, gathering 100.000 subscribers in 2015 and 500.000 in 2016. In 2018, Katja's online presence received so much attention that she participated in the sixth season of Promi Big Brother where she came in sixth place. In 2019, Krasavice removed all of her videos from her channel after making the decision of pursuing music as her main career and opening a new channel for that purpose. Her dead channel currently holds 1.43 million subscribers. Ever since, Krasavice has refused to be called a YouTuber anymore.[2][3][4][5]

2017-2018: The Stard Ova singles

In November 2017, while still an active YouTuber, Katja released her debut single Doggy (Katja Krasavice song), a light hearted sex themed novelty dance song produced by Stard Ova, along with a comical music video. The single became a top ten hit in Germany and Austria, peaking at numbers 7 and 5, respectively. In April 2018, her second single Dicke Lippen was released, kept in a similar style. The song topped the charts in Austria and peaked at number 4 in Germany. In August the same year, Sex Tape (Katja Krasavice song) served as her third single, peaking at numbers 6 and 7 in Germany and Austria. All three Stard Ova produced songs were in tone with her YouTube content and built up on her internet hype.[6][7][8]

2019-2020: Bo$$ Bitch and Bitch Bibel

In 2019, Katja Krasavice decided to pursue music as her major career and signed a contract with Warner Music Group, and announced the release of her debut album Bo$$ Bitch for January the following year. Her new musical style is more contemporary R&B, trap music and dancehall inspired, with lyrics involving around self representation and sexuality. The album's first single Gucci Girl, based on an interpolation of Aqua (band) Barbie Girl, peaked at number 21 on the German and Austrian charts. The next two singles Sugar Daddy and Wer bist du failed to enter the charts in either country, while the fourth and final single Casino (Katja Krasavice song) peaked at number 44 in Germany. The album ultimately debuted at number 1 on the German charts, beating Eminem's Music To Be Murdered By in the two albums' release week, and entered the top ten in Austria and Switzerland.[9][10][11][12][13]

In June 2020, Krasavice released her autobiographical book Bitch Bibel, which introduced the broader public to her tragic backstory. The book became a bestseller and peaked at number 2 on the non-fiction book charts of Der Spiegel.[14]

2020-2021: Eure Mami and Saweetie & Doja Cat collaboration

In 2020, Krasavice released the first single off her second album Eure Mami, Million Dollar A$$, together with German rapper Fler. The dirty rap song peaked at number 3 on the German charts, her best chart position so far. The two follow up pop singles, Ich seh and Alles schon gesehen, marked a notable departure from her previous style, featuring a melancholic tone and reflecting on past relationships and tragedies that occurred in her own life. Neither of these songs managed to gain commercial success.[15][16][17]

On January 8th of 2021, she released the album's fourth single Highway (Katja Krasavice & Elif song), together with German singer Elif Demirezer. It features a poppier and more melodious outfit and continued the string of insightful reflective lyricism from her previous two singles. The song was a big commercial success and became Krasavice's first number 1 hit on the German charts.[18]

On January 29th, Krasavice's second album Eure Mami came out, accompanied by a new single, the dance pop song Friendzone (Katja Krasavice song)|Friendzone, released on the same day. Unlike her debut album, her sophomore record covers a broader musical and thematic scope, ranging from hip hop to pop, from singing to rapping and from dirty lyrics to vulnerable moments. The album topped the German and Austrian charts, while the single peaked at number 2 in Germany.[19][20]

In April 2021, USA rappers Saweetie and Doja Cat released a number of international remixes of their collaborative song Best Friend (Saweetie song), featuring female rappers from different parts of the world and picking Katja Krasavice as the guest artist for the German version of the song. While the original version previously received no commercial success in the German market, the Katja Krasavice remix debuted at number 1, thus becoming her second chart topper, and the first for both Saweetie and Doja Cat.[21]

2021-2022: Pussy Power

In September 2021, Krasavice premiered the Pussy Power (song) title song of her third album Pussy Power (album). A porn rap song with drill music elements expressing female sexuality, it became her third number 1 single in Germany. The second single off the album followed in November in the form of the bilingual breakup dance pop song Raindrops (Katja Krasavice & Leony song) featuring German singer Leony. It was a commercial success, becoming her fourth number 1 hit in Germany. The third single of the album, the ballad Narben feat. Marwin Balsters, hit number 12 on the German charts. In February 2022, the album Pussy Power dropped after a delay caused by the last minute removal of one song from the tracklist due to it featuring rapper Haiyti who received backlash for alleged homophobic remarks. Like her previous albums, it entered at number 1 in Germany, with the simultaneously released single OnlyFans (song), a bouncy trap pop song, hitting number 2 on the song charts. The album also hit number 1 on the Austrian charts. [22][23][24][25][26]

Public image

Early in her career, Krasavice's videos and songs were almost universally panned by fellow YouTubers and critics alike, and frequently received a high amount of dislikes. Often she was criticized for setting herself up in an erotic or straight up softcore pornographic manner to get commercial and public attention, especially considering she attracted a generally younger viewership due to her videos not being age restricted. Although having released much viewed videos and already having had well charting songs, she received a considerable amount of hate and ridicule for both her web videos and early music, especially during her Stard Ova era.[27][28]

In 2020, after the release of her first album, Krasavice wrote and released her bestselling autobiographical book Bitch Bibel, which for the first time revealed her troubled past towards a wider audience. It details how the deaths and absence of family members affected and shaped her into who she became and gave insight into why she chose her controversial image. The book received thoroughly positive reviews from fans and critics alike, painting a more personal image of a woman who remained strong despite constant backlash and tragedies, and partly re-evaluated her public image into a more complex and varied artistic figure. It was also after the release of her book that she covered a wider palette of topics and genres in her music.[29][30]
