Podcast by Ștefania Vâlciu.
In this PulseZ podcast episode, we get to know Kiki Bratu, a 19-year-old artist and student at the National University of Music in Bucharest, who is steadily carving her path in the music industry. For Kiki, music is more than a passion — it’s the way she expresses herself, connects with people, and tells her story.
Even though she’s at the beginning of her career, she has already participated in major festivals, won local awards, and caught the attention of artists like Alina Eremia, Nicole Cherry, Mira, and Theo Rose through the cover songs she posts on Instagram and TikTok. In the podcast, Kiki speaks openly about the hard work behind her dream: hours of study, rehearsals, studio sessions, and creating online content.
She also shares what she feels when she steps on stage — a trance-like state, a moment of deep connection with the audience — and talks about overcoming stage emotions when performing alongside Alina Eremia, one of her musical inspirations. Kiki explains how she stays present in important moments and how she handles the spontaneity that comes with live performances.
The episode offers an honest perspective — especially relevant for Gen Z — on the journey of a young artist building her career with patience, passion, and a lot of hard work. It serves as a source of inspiration and a model of good practices.
