Niki Kini

Emerging as a bold voice in the Pop/RnB scene, Niki Kini is a 22-year-old artist of Indian heritage who grew up in Oxford and now calls London home. Her journey from a shy teenager posting YouTube covers to performing on iconic stages like Café KoKo highlights her resilience and passion for music. Niki’s latest track, “Watch Your Back,” showcases her signature playful lyricism and boundary-pushing creativity—a must-listen for fans seeking fresh and authentic pop vibes.

Musical Beginnings

Niki’s entry into the music world began humbly with secret YouTube uploads at age 12, inspired by the success stories of artists like Justin Bieber and Madison Beer. Though her family initially doubted her musical potential, her dedication paid off when she was discovered by her first manager at 15. Early influences such as P!nk, Amy Winehouse, and M.I.A. shaped her dynamic style, blending sass, soul, and rhythmic innovation.

Unique Sound and Creative Process

Describing her music as Pop/RnB, Niki injects wit and relatability into her lyrics, often drawing from personal experiences. Her creative process varies, ranging from co-producing tracks to jotting down spontaneous lyric ideas in her phone’s notes. She finds inspiration in everything, turning even tough times into powerful studio sessions.

“Watch Your Back”

Niki’s Latest track, “Watch Your Back,” is a sonic powerhouse that cements her place as one of the most exciting voices in Pop/RnB. The song brims with confidence, featuring razor-sharp lyrics and an addictive, bass-driven beat that makes it impossible to sit still. A playful warning and a declaration of self-assurance, “Watch Your Back” showcases Niki’s ability to marry wit with polished production, delivering a track that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant. This song is proof of her knack for pushing pop boundaries while staying true to her roots.

The Fight for Visibility

Niki’s road to success hasn’t been without challenges. After signing with a record label early in her career, she faced heart breaking rejection when they dropped her, claiming her music was “too Asian” and wouldn’t resonate in today’s pop scene. That moment could have deterred anyone, but for Niki, it became a catalyst. She proved them wrong with every release, building a loyal fanbase who celebrates her unapologetic authenticity and unique voice. Today, her journey is a testament to her resilience and the power of staying true to oneself.

Advocacy and Representation

As a proud advocate for Asian artists, Niki champions increased visibility for underrepresented communities in the UK music industry. She founded the “Creative Asians” group to foster connection and collaboration among Asian creatives, breaking stereotypes and paving the way for future generations of diverse talent.

With buzz building on platforms like TikTok, Niki is keeping the momentum going after the release of her latest single, “Watch Your Back.” The track, with its catchy hooks and sharp lyricism, is already winning over fans.
