Biography

A unique fusion of retro and contemporary, the city of Seoul is special in its own way. Born and raised in Seoul, musician CIKI and his music resembles Seoul in many ways. CIKI’s calm and passive voice brings comfort to the listeners like one of the safest cities in the world, Seoul. While his lo-fi tones with vintage vibes along with the hipness of the present Euljiro area, CIKI’s attention to detail with perfect precision in production resembles academic fervor of Gangnam area. CIKI especially puts emphasis on musically portraying loneliness and depression of a citizen of Seoul. CIKI’s ‘Seoulful’ sounds represent the cultures of Seoul, with the new genre ‘Seoul-pop’. After signing with Sony Music Entertainment Korea in 2018, CIKI released his first single “Between”, an acoustic-pop song with narratives of a person’s feeling towards someone in between an ambiguous relationship. The song develops into a different style of music with slow synth-pop sounds as the narrative develops. CIKI’s latest single “Of Course I Love You” is titled ironically to the contents of the lyrics portraying a past relationship that ended as a tragedy. CIKI’s minimalistic yet lush arrangements alongside mingginyu and CIKI’s emotional voices boasts CIKI’s production skills.
