Kerli Koiv was born in Elva on February 7, 1987. Her mother, Piret Koiv, was a social worker, and her father, Toivo Koiv, 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".
