Kerli Biography

Kerli is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on February 7, 1987 in Elva, Estonia. Kerli Kõiv was born in Elva on February 7, 1987. Her mother, Piret Kõiv, was a social worker, and her father, Toivo Kõiv, was an auto mechanic. Her parents separated when she was 16. Kerli has stated that when she wrote “Supergirl”—a song about domestic violence written for Utopia—she “put [herself] in [her] mother’s body, and said things that [she] wished that [her mother] would’ve said to her dad when [she] was little”. Her younger sister, Eliisa, is also a musician who competed in the third season of Eesti otsib superstaari.

Kerli frequently wears three dots called “moon marks” that represent integrity, love and unity, three things that are also followed by Moon Children: an elaborated fan community/street team established by Kerli in 2006 for people who “feel too much and find it hard to exist in this world, so that they wouldn’t think they’re crazy.” It originally began as a “gathering for Indigo kids” but developed into a “movement of Integrity, Love and Unity” which is “trying to be the best you can be, taking responsibility for your reality and living with your eyes open. It’s not some religious preachy thing, rather being a passenger in this dimension, trying to make the most of your experience and striving for perfection while understanding it’s okay not to be perfect.”

Later in 2008, she was selected to perform a song titled “When Nobody Loves You” for the video game 007: Quantum of Solace, as well as the song “Bulletproof” on the official soundtrack of Punisher: War Zone.

In 2006, Kerli worked with producer, songwriter, and mixer David Maurice on an autobiographical set of songs, the first set of which were released on a self- titled EP in 2007. She finally released her debut album, titled Love Is Dead on July 8, 2008, following her debut single “Walking on Air” (which charted at number 75 on the European Hot 100.) and “Creepshow”, a promotional single. “Creepshow” was featured in the TV series Fringe, The City, as well as in the video game Burnout Paradise. The music video for the song “Love Is Dead” was released on February 29, 2008 and the music video for “Walking on Air” premiered on MTV Overdrive on May 20, 2008. “Walking on Air” was downloaded 550,000 times when it was featured as iTunes’ “Single of the Week”, which was a record at the time. The song appeared twice on So You Think You Can Dance? as well in an advertisement for Fringe. Love Is Dead charted at number 126 on the Billboard 200 for the week of July 26.

Stevenson later signed Kerli to his label Stolen Transmission but the label went bankrupt. At the age of 16, Kerli moved to Stockholm where she competed in Melodifestivalen in 2003 but was eliminated in the second semifinals. In 2004, she was the runner-up in that year’s Eurolaul – a televised competition that determines the song that will represent Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest – with her song “Beautiful Inside”. While in Stockholm for two years, she worked with numerous producers and due to lack of money as the contracts she had gained previously were unsuccessful, she ate nothing but rice for three months, lived in an abandoned house during winter and slept on a cot. At the age of 18, she moved to the United States where she continued to perform and write songs, ultimately getting an audition with L.A. Reid, who signed her to Island Def Jam Music Group in 2006.
