Based in the lush landscapes of Aotearoa’s South Island, Kiki Rockwell is a fiercely independent singer, songwriter, and producer creating a world where ancient lore meets modern rebellion.
Self-teaching music production after a background playing piano and performing with Auckland indie outfit The Leers, Rockwell has crafted a signature sound palette of dark electronic synths, ritualistic percussion, and monastic vocal layering. Drawing inspiration from medieval folklore, mythology, and historical narratives, her songs explore themes of modern womanhood, power dynamics, and queer love with sharp, cinematic precision.
Rockwell’s world-building has resonated on a global scale, amassing tens of millions of streams powered by viral hits like Madeline and Same Old Energy. Paired with self-directed visual narratives, her music recently translated into a standout 2026 debut European tour featuring multiple sold-out shows.
With a fiercely loyal international fanbase and total creative control over her craft, Kiki Rockwell is one of Aotearoa’s most compelling, genre-bending artists.
