In September 2020, Zefanya released her debut genre-bending concept album Moonchild. In an interview she was quoted saying,

Zefanya has stated that she tries to empower Asians and Asian Americans through her music. In the Head in The Clouds music festival, NIKI took a moment to address the 10,000-plus audience gathered in Los Angeles’ Historic State Park. “I just want to say, as an Asian female, I do not take this day and this stage for granted. My hope is that above everything else today, that you feel heard, you feel understood, but most of all that you feel represented." NIKI's mission is to empower young Asian artists under-represented in the American music industry.

In 2017, Zefanya moved to Nashville, Tennessee to study Music at Lipscomb University. She released two singles, “See U Never” and “I Like U” under the American mass media company 88rising as an artist under their label. She released the song “Vintage” in May 2018 as the first single for her EP titled Zephyr.

At 15, she was the opening act for Taylor Swift's The Red Tour in Jakarta after winning a competition arranged by Swift and the ice-cream brand Walls, called Ride to Fame. Zefanya maintained a YouTube channel throughout her teenage years, which gained over 40,000 subscribers. She uploaded many original songs and covers, most of them acoustic/stripped, including ballads Polaroid Boy (2016) and Anaheim (2017), which were eventually released and on Spotify under Nicole Zefanya.

Nicole Zefanya (born 24 January 1999), known professionally as NIKI, is an Indonesian singer, songwriter and record producer. She is currently based in the United States and signed with the record label 88rising.

At nine years old, Zefanya taught herself how to play the guitar. At 13, she began writing original music. Although her music is partially influenced by her mother, who exposed Zefanya to soul, gospel, and 1990s R&B like Destiny's Child and Aaliyah when she was young, Zefanya's earliest original music skewed towards the folk and indie genres. She went to Pelita Harapan School from kindergarten to twelfth grade in Jakarta, Indonesia.
