Kiki Wong

Kristin "Kiki" Wong (born April 15, 1989) is an American musician known for being the touring guitarist of alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins. In the 2010s she performed with artists such as Taylor Swift and Usher, and was a member of girl band Nylon Pink. She also played in She Demons, put together by Jerry Only of Misfits, and Vigil of War, a band started by DragonForce bassist Alicia Vigil.

While in Nylon Pink she started a popular travel blog with bandmate Kaila Yu, which ultimately led to her accumulating over a million TikTok followers. In 2024, Wong was selected from 10,000 applicants to join the Smashing Pumpkins as their live guitarist, with Billy Corgan later commenting that he was already a fan before her application.

Wong has described having to become a more diverse guitarist since joining the Smashing Pumpkins, making more use of effects and clean tones, and expanding from her background as a heavy metal player. Provided by Wikipedia
