Personal life
Katja Krasavice was born on August 10, 1996, in Teplice, to a Czech mother and a Slovak father. 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 attended a Gymnasium but didn't graduate.
Career
Early career on YouTube
Katja Krasavice opened up her YouTube channel on March 29, 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.
