KiKi’s passion for electronic music began in the mid-2010s, during the era of hard-hitting electro and progressive house. The massive kicks and complex synth breaks of artists like Porter Robinson and No Mana inspired his earliest production experiments, eventually guiding him toward the melodic house and techno sounds of artists like Camelphat, ARTBAT, and Cristoph. Drawing on his background as a classically trained pianist, his melody-driven productions weave rich, melancholic vocal harmonies with orchestral sound design, creating deeply emotional moments on the dance floor.

As the world transformed amidst the 2020 pandemic, so too did KiKi’s sound evolve into something darker, more intense, and infused with the relentless energy of peaktime and minimal techno. Inspired by his deep love for space and the mysteries of worlds beyond our own, his music contrasts the ethereal atmospheres of shimmering nebulae and distant expanses with the cold precision of computer-driven technology. This duality defines his hybrid sound, shifting fluidly between the analytical exactness of raw techno and the organic emotion of melodic house.

Since his project began in March 2022, KiKi has released several singles as well as his debut EP ‘Resistance’. Based in Miami, Florida, he hosts a weekly live mix series on Twitch as well as a monthly podcast ‘Gates of Pandora’.
