Fiker is a singer-songwriter who has been playing music and writing songs since the age of 13. fiker embraces a fluid, exploratory approach to sound that reflects their wide-ranging musical tastes. They feel genre-less, which (to them) is freeing, as they’ve always desired the space to explore music without being boxed in.
They have been influenced by artists such as Hayley Williams, Jazmine Sullivan, Mary Mary, Alanis Morissette, Pinegrove, and many more. Recently, their influences are rooted in jazz, soul, and neo-soul, though they are still discovering how those sounds will shape the songs they are currently writing. With every new song, fiker continues to lean into curiosity, honesty, and the joy of musical exploration.
