Born in 1957 in Takoradi, Ghana, Kiki was a child piano virtuoso who joined the legendary Afro-rock band Osibisa at just 15 years old. With his blend of funk, disco, and highlife influences, Kiki brought a uniquely African flavor to global grooves. His 1979 solo release *24 Hours in a Disco* became an underground classic, celebrated for its infectious rhythms, lush arrangements, and pioneering Afro-disco sound. By the late '70s, Kiki had toured the world, played at prestigious venues like the Apollo Theater and Royal Albert Hall, and collaborated with artists such as Elton John and Mick Jagger.
