Fluent in sonic and visual expression, CIFIKA creates vivid music realms anchored by her ethereal electronic-pop compositions. Having emerged with her 2016 breakout EP ‘INTELLIGENTSIA’,the Seoul-based artist, singer, and producer filters humanism through the natural, celestial, and futuristic. On her 2020 debut album ‘HANA’, CIFIKA captured nostalgia through earthly elements and spiritual cycles. On her second full-length ‘ION,’ she explores her lived experiences through otherworldly metaphors, capturing the complexities of relationships through science and fantasy. On her new full-length album, ‘Bonfire,’ she eveals a more organic side of her artistry, embracing warmth and intimacy in ways that differ from her previous electro-avant work. This new chapter showcases her continual evolution as an artist, offering a deeply personal glimpse into her musical journey. 

CIFIKA’s work has always existed beyond boundaries. Though she was born and raised in South Korea, she attended high school and college (an art major) in Oregon and California. Her multicultural experience led to a heightened awareness of language, which she brings to her lyrics in both languages. Similarly, she’s fluidly worked with musical collaborators across international scenes, and ivs an accomplished multimedia artist. Her own installation, ‘HYDROVOX’, has toured around the world, linking visuals with CIFIKA’s live audio to create an unrepeatable performance.
