Kiki Nam Nam was adopted as a baby by a Swiss family from an orphanage in Mumbai. Despite growing up in the Canton of Basel-Landschaft, she never completely lost sight of her Indian roots.
The KiKi NAM NAM album has been produced and recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, it is easy to distinguish recurrent Indian musical sounds underlying the country, bluegrass and rock elementsof these catchy pop songs. Apart from a song composed together with two song writer friends at the SUISA Songwriting Camp in 2018, all of her impressive often heartrending portrayals of human states of emotion, were penned by herself.
In keeping with the traditional story-narrating, the songs (Chasing Butterflies, No Crown, Perfect
Day, Hold your Hand, Friends, Don’t Steal my Man and Oooops?!?) reflect not only current issues
such as all-pervading selfie mania (in the song Selfie), but also frequently depict strong women,
who can be compared to tigers with their indomitability und unswerving manner and who can be
perceived as the actual rulers of life in the modern jungle (songs: Can’t be Tamed and The Jungle).
Last but not least, issues like widespread stereotypes and prejudices such as marginalization
resulting from a different skin colour (song: What if, a duet with Mr. Currey Singh) are also being
addressed in the wonderful new KiKi NAM NAM album.
