We had the good fortune of connecting with Kontiki and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kontiki, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
Consistency. It has helped me succeed by building trust in myself and with others. It’s allowed me to improve through repetition, stay reliable, and keep momentum going—even when progress felt slow. Over time, those small, steady efforts added up to real growth.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I stand out as an artist through my cinematic sound, emotional depth, and attention to detail in production. My music feels like a journey, with a unique atmosphere and structure that creates a distinct identity and immersive experience. I’m most excited for the process the most. I know for a fact I’ll make it for but I’ve learned that it’s all about having fun along the way. I want the world to know that it’s okay to be authentic. Don’t be who everyone else wants you to be. You are the narrator to your story

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’d take my best friend sightseeing to create lasting memories, share new perspectives, turn every moment into an adventure, have meaningful conversations in beautiful places, and because everything’s better when we experience it together.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I can definitely say God. He deserves a shoutout for being the Creator, showing endless love and mercy, giving me the strength in times like this, and always working behind the scenes. I also want to thank my team for believing in me beforehand and pushing me to be the best version of the artist I am
