Ann Arbor’s electrifying, live-looping, musical maestro Kyler Wilkins, aka Ki5, is back on an A2SF stage in the biggest way yet! An accomplished singer-songwriter and producer, Wilkins has been performing as Ki5 with a loop station capturing original vocal arrangements and covers since 2017. His music explores R&B, pop, and soul through the lens of an a cappella singer-songwriter, augmented with his beloved loop station. Wilkins’ honest and empathetic style has been influenced by Reggie Watts, Bobby McFerrin, and Bon Iver, while his artistry has catapulted him to sharing stages with legends like Erykah Badu and Reggie Watts. This summer, Ki5 brings original music from recent projects including 2023’s Body EP and reimaginings of your favorite dance, pop, and R&B hits with the finesse of an a cappella virtuoso who creates all his sounds live through singing and beatboxing. Watch out for new music from Ki5, with his latest project Mind set for release summer 2024. Come see the soul-stirring, genre-transcending experience that is Ki5 live at Top of the Park!
