Kiri Rocket

The world of children's music is enriched by Kiri Rakete, a wonderfully unconventional artist. With a special gift and inherent disposition, she approaches the musical needs of children and packages the little ones' life experiences into catchy songs that even adults enjoy listening to over and over again.

Rich answers to "why" questions
As an educator, mother, and honorary child for life, Kiri Rakete is right in the thick of it. She addresses the themes of the "why" questions posed by kindergarten and preschool children in an incomparably loving and humorous way, engaging with both children and their accompanying adults fearlessly and authentically. With a calm yet captivating stage presence and her charmingly distinctive, rough Kiri voice, she delivers her message emphatically, but without moralizing – with strong choruses and flowery verses surrounding them.

Viennese charm and child-oriented pedagogy
In her catchy songs, Kiri Rakete tackles topics such as avocado consumption, train travel adventures, sick animals, the loosening of socially conditioned role models, and even monotonous pirate meals. In an unparalleled manner, she manages the balancing act of meeting children and adults at eye level, serving up the children's room hits with a sprinkle of pedagogical humor and Viennese charm. Catchy melodies and sing-along temptations included.

Since 2016 on small and large stages
Kiri Rakete released her debut album "RAKETENSTART" in 2016, and since then, she has become an integral part of Austria's small art stages, cultural venues, and summer festivals. She has also been a crowd magnet for families with children at events such as the Danube Island Festival, in the festival hall of the Vienna City Hall, at the Vienna Cultural Summer, the Graz Popella Music Festival, and the Linz Pflasterspektakel.

"They grow up so fast"
Just like her fan base, the artist continually grows beyond herself. With the album "WOHNZIMMERABENTEUER" (2021), she brought producer Sami Fischer on board, with whom she catapults her musical visions into new spheres. The arrangements are well thought out and emphasize – sometimes subtly, sometimes straightforwardly – the song content. This way, she manages to keep fans engaged even beyond the swiftly passing early years of life, as Kiri Rakete's CDs can be played without fear or shame even later during car rides. The artist definitely meets her personal goal of creating children's music that also opens up new worlds for adults.

Current album: NORMAL
On her fourth and latest album "NORMAL" (2023), the Kiri universe is expanded with several songs featuring a full band – a format in which Kiri Rakete also enjoys performing live on stages in the German-speaking world, showcasing the absolute concert suitability of her handmade children's music. Together, bass, piano, and drums, as well as cello, trombone, clarinet, and guitar, orbit musically around the fixed star of the Kiri Rakete performance: the lyrics that captivate children and bring adults back, uniting them in a shared experience where Kiri concerts are colorful building blocks for valuable childhood memories.
