Kiani Medina

Kianí Medina is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter with more than 20 years of experience in the music world. From an early age, she performed on the most prestigious stages in Puerto Rico and the world with artists such as Cultura Profética and Viento de Agua, with whom she recorded several musical productions. You have also heard her voice on albums by Calle 13, Mimi Maura, El Laberinto del Coco, and her father, the singer and trumpeter Jerry Medina, to name a few. In 2017, she began touring with Residente (René Pérez Joglar) as a backing vocalist.

Kianí belongs to a renowned musical heritage. In addition to her father's influence as a founding member of the group Batacumbele and a prominent singer with Eddie Palmieri, she also has on her mother Anna Carrión's side, her uncles Billy Carrión and Gary Carrión, both singers who performed with the orchestras of Ray Barretto, Mulenze, and Larry Harlow.

She has never defined herself by a particular style of music or any standard for creating sounds. Her career path has served her as a bridge towards constant evolution, always in search of her own sound, without limitations.

In November of 2024, Kianí Medina released "SED" ("Thirst"), her first EP, produced by Omar Rodríguez-López (The Mars Volta, At the Drive-In) through his own label, Rodríguez López Productions.
