Cikho

Cikho is a South London artist making pop, rock and indie songs that combine funky, upbeat rhythms with vulnerable lyrics. This London show takes place at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington.

Cikho is a South London artist who has spent four years making music and emerged in 2026. Growing up in SE London, Cikho was the only young person in the area making funky, upbeat and vulnerable songs, an approach drawing on Steve Lacy, Pharrell Williams and Jamiroquai.

Melody has been central from an early age. Cikho taught themselves to sing and write songs by practising on BandLab, while listening to pop songs on Vevo developed a love for strong melodies and for discovering new music, which continues to shape the sound.

The Waiting Room, at 175 Stoke Newington High Street, is a London venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits listeners drawn to that sound.
