Indonesian singer-songwriter Nicole Zefanya, better known as NIKI, got her big break at the age of 15, opening for Taylor Swift on The Red Tour in front of a packed stadium of 10,000 people. Since then, the artist has gained popularity for her praised 2018 EP ‘Zephyr’, inked a record deal with @88rising, joined Halsey on tour, and shows no sign of slowing down. Her latest project, a concept album called ‘Moonchild’, is a fantastical journey in self-discovery. In this episode of #OnTheRise, NIKI breaks down her start on KZfaq, headlining the Head in the Clouds Festival, and what to expect on her debut full-length album.

88rising should promote her more on big platforms like this especially for her new album, she's so precious. After Joji and Brian, it's time for Niki to make debut performance on US national television.

@DonKingKong um no. It's bc brian and joji are the two biggest artists under 88 and they were big even before they signed to them. And idk about you but 88 is promoting niki pretty hard. Other than brian and joji, niki is getting way more promotion than the other make artists in 88. If anything niki, joji, and brian are the big 3 in that label rn.

The thing I love about NIKI is the moment she opens her mouth you'll instantly notice she's well spoken and that applies to her music. Her songwriting is just *chefs kiss* and that's what makes her a great artist.

I was always a casual listener of Niki but I really fell in love with her after seeing her live at an early 88rising tour when she sang Dancing with the Devil. At the time most of 88rising seemed relatively new to performing? But Niki had this power... this presence that made me realize that she’s special

It'll be cool if you and Taylor can collab in the future.
