Kristin "Kiki" Wong (born April 15, 1989[3]) is an American musician known for being the touring guitarist of alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins.

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.

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.

After graduating from college in 2011, she took a job working at UCLA Medical Center with neurological patients, which she quit when Nylon Pink was offered a tour of China.

Nonetheless, Wong played with Nylon Pink for seven years, touring places like Japan, Macau, Malaysia and South America.

Wong says touring with the band is how she discovered her love of travel, and "learned to play my heart out no matter how shitty the venue or crowd is".

[8][9][10] Wong subsequently joined the all-girl punk band She Demons (later called Hellfire Heart), put together by Jerry Only of Misfits.

Wong has said that when the band ended she went through "a pretty low moment" and took a step back from music, spending some time in corporate jobs.

[19] While Wong has described herself as previously being a one trick pony, she says she now has a more diverse playing style, and has been exposed to new sounds and effects through her work with the Smashing Pumpkins.

[20] During Wong's first tour with Smashing Pumpkins, she got a sponsorship deal with PRS Guitars after having been given a contact at the company by Herman Li from DragonForce.
