My name is Kiffie; a synth-pop and electronica artist from the UK. I compose and produce alternative and emotive songs using synths, drum machines, piano and guitar.
My music is regularly played on independent radio based in cities all around the world, including ‘In the Moog’ hosted by Chris Watts, ‘The Sol of Synth-Pop’ (Radio Plus) hosted by Jimm Kjelgaard and many, many more. This has brought my music to new audiences and like-minded people, many of whom have become fans, friends, and musical collaborators.
Some collaborators include fellow electronic artist Pulse Lab (Finland), USA based emceebrownbear and modern jazz artist Richard Davies (UK). I teamed up with LGBTQA+ champion Jamie Jamal on a Christmas Single to raise money for ‘Help the Homeless’, an endeavour that was supported by actor and music fan Robert Carlyle. In October 2022 Tom Robinson selected one of my songs to play on his BBC Introducing Mixtape which was aired on BBC Radio 6 Music.
‘Generation Blitz’ are compilations of the best electronic music from around the world released by UK Label State of Bass. My music has been included on the first and third compilations called ‘Dusk and Dawn’ and ‘Extended’.
Sink Ya Teeth, who also featured on the first Generation Blitz compilation, invited me to support them at their Norwich Arts Centre gig, an opportunity I had to grasp immediately.
I regularly perform at the Electronic Music Open Mic in Norwich and showcase my music in front of other electronic artists. We talk about gear and make connections. I enjoy listening to and being inspired by the huge variety of music and soundscapes.
HMV Norwich have twice invited me to perform live in store, as part of their ‘Live and Local’ initiative. They also asked to stock two of my CD releases, ‘How to Build a Boy’ and ‘Pixelation’.
In March 2023 I released a new album called ‘Daring the Darkness’. It has a darker tone to reflect darker times but still with an element of hope and empowerment.
In April 2023 I was featured in the 100th issue of 'Electronic Sound'.
