Niki Kand grew up in Tehran in a big and noisy family where there would be at least 10 people around the table for dinner every night . She records cross-legged on her bed, directly into her Macbook microphone, over whatever wild combination type of beat she comes up with. Niki’s received so much support from her local music scene, BBC Introducing Merseyside , BBC6 and music magazine Bido Lito since releasing music publicly. She’s currently working on her debut EP that will be out 2020.
UK-based Business and Management Graduate. Fan of karaoke, Liverpool Football Club, and indie bangers. Currently working for Spotify as a Social Media Associate.
Since finishing the course at Sound City I’ve completed a Masters in Public Relations and Event Management at John Moores, I’ve just recently taken on a role with a national charity where I lead on their media, delivering images, video and managing websites and socials. I’m also on the books at the University of Liverpool helping deliver everything from comics to conferences, when time permits I dabble a little in events and the like. I’ve been delivering events and hatching stupid ideas for 15 years. Some friends and I developed the Oxjam Festival and worked with Oxfam to deliver the model across the UK and beyond, it’s been used internationally and raised millions. I’ve worked with tons of lovely folks, from the OhYeah Music centre in Belfast through to MTV, Bushmills Live, Belfast Festival, Sound City, The Liverpool Irish Festival, Electric Picnic, The Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival and the Atlantic Sessions festival on the North Coast of Ireland. I write, photograph, film and edit for Getintothis, and scratch the odd paragraph out for others when I get the time, for publications like The Thin Air and Folk Tumble. I write about anything and everything, from The Turner Prize win, Liverpool constant redevelopment plans, music on Bold Street and old REM albums.

I have been a front man of several Rock and Metal bands based in Liverpool and Wirral. I also work as a promoter putting on small shows at several venues across Merseyside catering for heavy music. The Sound City course gave me both valuable contacts and information, which gave me confidence to rise further in what I am doing.
Liverpool born and bred. Music fanatic. Festival goer. When not at a gig you can find me writing about music for Bido Lito! and Dork or promoting the best city in the world with VisitLiverpool.
