Kirsi Viilonen, commonly known by her stage name Kikka, was a notable figure in the Finnish pop music scene. Born on May 26, 1964, in Tampere, Finland, Kikka's career began to take flight in the late 1980s and she quickly became known for her energetic performances and catchy tunes that often carried a playfully provocative tone. Her music was characterized by a blend of pop and disco influences, rendering her sound accessible and danceable to a wide audience.

Throughout her career, Kikka released a series of hit songs, many of which remain enduring favorites in Finland. Some of her most celebrated tracks are included in the collections "Tytöt tahtoo pitää hauskaa," "Kikka - Hitit," and "Kaikkien aikojen parhaat - 40 klassikkoa," showcasing her appeal across different ages and demographics. Her singles like "Moottoripyörä on moottoripyörä" and "Ota vaatteet pois" display her penchant for playful lyrics and infectious hooks. Albums such as "Herkut lisukkeineen" and "Parhaat - 20 Suosikkisävelmää" offer comprehensive looks at her standout tracks, whereas "Remix" reflects the dance-floor readiness of her music. While Kikka's life was tragically cut short on December 3, 2005, her musical legacy continues to entertain and resonate with fans, as evidenced by the enduring popularity of her recordings.
