KiKi is one of the most distinctive singer-songwriters on the Slovenian music scene.

In 2023, she self-released her debut album KRiKi, followed by an expanded edition KRiKi Extended (Celinka) in 2024. In 2025, she took part in EMA – Slovenia’s national selection for Eurovision – with the song O-ou, signaling a bold new creative chapter. Performing with a full band, KiKi is steadily gaining recognition both at home and internationally.
