Period. A ROCK AND ROLL LOVE LETTER I'm not going to lie to you - KIKI WOW is one of my favorite people on the planet on or off stage. But, can I relate to you exactly what makes her a uniquely exciting and sexy performer? I think so. Simply put, Kiki is just a little more alive than anyone I know. She has the ability to transport an audience to a better place. Her songs are upbeat, and catchy, and put down roots in your mind. Theres a lot of the same sunshine and sea-breeziness in her music that KAREN CARPENTER or THE BEACH BOYS are famous for. Carefree, beautifully soaring harmonies are an element of most of Kikis songs SHERYL CROW's Soak Up The Sun could easily pass for one her originals. Her long-standing Monday Night show at KULAKS WOODSHED in North Hollywood is a popular hang and most of Los Angeles best songwriters have made an appearance. The six-camera live webcast is faithfully viewed on the internet by people the world over! Kikis story will make a hell of a TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY one day. Its had its share of high points, to be surefrom an appearance as a coffeehouse singer on NBCs NORM, to opening for MIDNIGHT OIL at the height of their fame. Her life has also held its share of hardships, but youd never know it to meet her. Her Songwriter Circles have been held at venues from The Cat Club to UCLAs Royce Hall and in producing them, Kiki showcases, as much as anything, her desire to nurture and support the talents of the performers she admires. This warm, giving, earth mother side of her is incredibly sexy, and men and women both respond to it. It shows in everything she does, from greeting a friend, to debuting a work-in-progress at one of her regular L.A. haunts. Shes such a positive force that, when I first met her, I thought her outlook had to be an act, but thats just Keek. While all of this is true, I think ... |
