Today's special guest is Kiki Rockwell!

Writing, recording and producing all her own music, Kiki's visceral storytelling and unique folk lore inspired world has captured the hearts of a huge online audience. With her fascinating concept of “Eldest Daughter of an Eldest Daughter”, this brings about the discussion of the unique challenges and expectations of this role, trauma that can travel through generations and more.

Using her music videos as immersive, cinematic experiences that transport viewers to fantastical realms, she seamlessly draws inspiration from mythology and folklore. Kiki’s ability to create an entire universe within the confines of a few minutes with her captivating visuals through intricate costumes and magical set designs consistently pushes the boundaries of what a music video can be. Her ability to create alternative worlds is a hallmark of Kiki Rockwell’s artistic vision, making her a unique force in both the music and visual arts landscapes.
