Details:
Kiki Klein is a Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter whose passion for singing and great pop hooks is crystal clear on her debut CD, Out of a Crowd.
She grew up in Rochester, Minnesota, and from a very early age sang with her older siblings, learning the secrets of harmony and the joyous grooves of classic pop music. In her twenties, she began performing with rhythm and blues bands, forging her strong and soulful voice over years of club and wedding gigs.
Kiki moved to the Twin Cities in 1986, and again performed with various R&B bands for several years. But the call of that classic pop music she had first gleamed from her transistor radio and earphone as a kid beckoned. She rekindled a love for the music of the Beatles, Hollies and Kinks (and gained an appreciation for newer works by the Pretenders and XTC), picked up her guitar, and began writing songs.
Fusing elements of classic British pop and the R&B she had cut her teeth on as a singer, Kiki developed her own style, and soon formed the band Union Jack to showcase her new songs. In 1998, she recorded her first disc, Out of a Crowd, a 13-song collection that ranged from the gentle "Next Big Thing", to the stomping title track, to the very Beatle-esque "No".
Currently, Kiki is recording songs for her second CD, and will be featured on two cuts from the forthcoming Mike Lane CD Five Acts to Follow. She has also begun to perform with and collaborate with him.
Kiki also plays guitar and sings with the band Indigroove, a costumed 70s funk/party band.
