We recently sat down with the ever-inspiring Spiky at Nexus Radio Lounge ADE Edition at the Technics space. Known for her visionary approach and compelling musical style, Spiky opened up about her journey from music manager to dynamic artist, offering a glimpse into her creative process and the motivations driving her unique sound.
Spiky, originally from upstate New York, has made a name for herself through her potent voice and infectious production. Her music vibrates with a blend of pop, world, EDM, R&B, hip-hop, soul, and funk. During the interview, she reflected on the transition from managing artists to becoming one, stating, “I just applied the skill sets and things I tried to implement into the artists that I was managing…to myself.” This self-application has enabled her to quickly establish herself in the industry, creating empowering music with an edge.
Her upcoming project, titled “Uncensored,” is set for release in 2025, capturing her rock punk fusion ambitions. As Spiky shared, the album is a reflection of her journey and a commentary on contemporary issues, promising to be as challenging as it is groundbreaking. She elaborated, “‘Uncensored’ talks about me and who I am and…what’s happening in the world right now. It’s kind of loud, and it’s out there, and it’s message full.”
One of the singles, “Smile,” features Chris Kiss from London and stands out for its electric guitar rhythm and edgy vibe. This track, alongside others, mirrors Spiky’s mission to inspire, especially women, encouraging strength, independence, and resilience. Her lyrics aim to empower, urging listeners to “live your life, be strong, say how you feel…and be independent.”
Spiky's vision extends beyond music. Her unapologetic attitude and dedication to promoting self-love, body positivity, and social justice resonate with fans and critics alike. Her journey is a testament to the power of self-belief and persistence, something Spiky hopes to pass on to others.
