Krew Kiki

It is with great sadness to announce that this will be the last episode of Krew Kiki. With so much changing in my career and personal life it was time to close this chapter and begin a new one. With that being said, I listened to you guys and brought to you my OWN interview to finish off this series. In this episode, I talk about my dance and choreography career, my journey with religion and spirituality and my experiences in LA. Natalie and I did not play a game this episode but instead I answered all the questions that you guys have been dying to know, like the biggest one… What happened to Kirkland Krew? I hope you enjoy this last episode and I want to thank each and every one of you for the love and support you have shown me over the past year with this show, I will never forget it. This is not the end.

From producing for big names like Chris Brown and Tank these brothers have made a mark in the music industry. Grammy-nominated for their work with TGT and winning a platinum plaque for their work with Chris Brown these boys know how to make a hit. What’s next? Now, Dom and Darius are about to go full-force with their own music career and are releasing a big project soon! For anyone out there trying to make it as a writer, producer or artist… this episode is for you! 

Tia Rivera is a super talented choreographer who has an unbelievable amount of knowledge to share with the world. From finance strategies to self-care and positivity I feel as though Tia has figured it all out. She opens up about how one day during her Senior Year in high school she came home to padlocks on her apartment door and how this moment changed her forever. Listen and get inspired by this women’s wisdom and also watch us go head-to-head on one of the best games of “Incohearant” played on this show. 

Kendra “KO” Oyesanya and Terrence “Rawswagger” Green unpack a lot on this informative and personal episode. From their starts in LA, going after their dreams, the audition process for Step Up and the phone call that changed both of their lives these two have experiences on experiences to share. Their self-confidence and their stubbornness of not accepting “no” as an answer has put these two at the top of their game and are changing the way dancers are looked at within the industry. Buckle up for a very informative and vulnerable ride. 

My sister is FINALLY here! Natalie sits down with me to talk about our lives together as sisters. We talk about the crazy trip we took right before the world went into quarantine to 10 different countries in 3 weeks.

We of course also talk about Natalie’s career with dance and how she was a pro-cheerleader for many years before moving to LA. Get to know the Kirkland sisters more in this interesting episode. 

Two of my favorite videographers, Beno and Jon sit down with me to discuss life behind the camera. Surprisingly, the career of a primarily dance videographer can be quite interesting when you work with different creators who potentially don’t like each other. From their starts as videographers, to their journey through LA and formulating their long-term goals, these guys got a lot to say in our longest Krew Kiki interview yet.

So excited for this episode of Krew Kiki, I have Vanessa Seco the most famous shuffler in the world is here to talk about her life and career as a shuffler!

We talk about her relationship with Bang and the hardships of being closely tied to a company who is so openly a supporter of Trump along with playing a fun game of “IncoHEARant”. This episode will leave you feeling inspired. 

Howard Johnson, the guy known for tilting in random places has become a huge success on Tik Tok. Howard sits down to kiki with me on how Tik Tok has helped his confidence, growing up without a dad, how he is working on changing the stigma of men dancing in heels and of course we play a daring game of “Never Have I Ever”. Enjoy. 

Old friend Bdash and I sit down to have a very informative and special episode. Bdash takes us through his life and career of a Krumper and how he was ranked #2 best krumper in the world. From Compton, CA Bdash went from gang member to professional, viral dancer with a huge platform and many amazing experiences and credits under his belt. With everything going on in the world, Bdash's message is powerful, positive and strong. His story is remarkable and I am so excited he came onto the show and was so open and honest with us. Don’t take this episode for granted.
