overview

NIKI’s third album Buzz is a portrait of where she is now – inspired by the most on-the-go years of her life. Songs written in random corners of airports, on planes, trains, buses, backstage in green rooms, bathrooms, Holiday Inns, driving through Maryland, flying over Labuan Bajo, drunk in Mexico City, crying in Hawaii, freezing in London, walking fast in New York, heartbroken in Los Angeles.

Released on August 9, 2024, this album consists of 13 tracks and was followed by The Buzz World Tour which covered 44 markets across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

role

As the day-to-day Artist Manager, I assisted in the creative development for Artist branded assets which included designed graphics for social platforms and out-of-home billboards across global markets. As a management team, we worked to strengthen cross-functional partnerships with brand and digital teams while managing external relationships with Digital Service Provider partners and PR agencies to maximize artist visibility and campaign reach.

The Buzz to Buzz 88rising x nissan documentary

The Buzz to Buzz”, a 12-minute music journal film launched in October 2024, documented NIKI’s journey of embracing imperfection and spontaneity while creating her new album Buzz. Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles streets and concert stages, the film captured NIKI’s reflections on turning small moments on the road into creative inspiration and her excitement about personal growth. The film also debuted two singles from her album, tying the narrative to the KICKS as a symbol of self-expression and urban exploration.

fan activations – BUZZ DRIVE IN

A few nights prior to the album release, we put together an intimate fan experience that blended the nostalgia of a summer drive-in theatre with an album listening party. Hosted by NIKI herself, the event brought together ~500 fans who tuned into the album through their car radios while lyric videos played across projected screens, creating a fully immersive audio-visual experience. Between tracks, NIKI engaged directly with her audience through live camera and audio feeds making for a deeply personal and memorable album debut.

I assisted in the coordinating and execution of the event, and designed the on-screen graphics and freebies for attendees.

fan activations – Buzz Games

We partnered with Versus Creative, a creative agency, to put together an interactive website for fans leading up to the Buzz World Tour to continue building momentum for fans to further resonate with each track.
