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. Thereís 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 Kiki's songs - SHERYL CROW/s "Soak Up The Sun" could easily pass for one her originals.
Her long-standing Monday Night show at KULAK'S 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!
Kiki's story will make a hell of a TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY one day. It's had its share of high points, to be sure - from an appearance as a coffeehouse singer on
NBCís NORM, to opening for MIDNIGHT OIL at the height of their fame. Her life has also held its share of hardships, but youíd never know it to meet her.
Her ìSongwriter Circlesî have been held at venues from The Cat Club to UCLAís 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. Sheís such a positive force that, when I first met her, I thought her outlook had to be an act, but that's just 'Keek'.
While all of this is true, I think the main reason I never miss an opportunity to see her perform is that she ís the kind of person I'd like to be.
