Kiki Wong

Kiki Wong is an American guitarist of Korean-Chinese heritage known for her aggressive technique and magnetic stage presence. She is the touring guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins, one of the most influential alternative rock bands of the 1990s, which places her on the world's biggest stages.

Her YouTube channel mixes metal and shred covers with humour and a direct personality that has connected with an audience of over 200K subscribers. Kiki doesn't fit any established mould: she plays technical metal, classic rock, and pop with equal conviction, and speaks about the music industry with uncommon honesty.

Beyond her work with Smashing Pumpkins, Kiki regularly collaborates with other YouTube guitarists, appears in masterclasses, and pursues her own projects. She is a representative figure of the new generation of guitarists building careers in parallel with the traditional circuit.
