Kali Uchis

Karly-Marina Loaiza, internationally acclaimed under the stage name Kali Uchis, was born on July 17, 1994, in the city of Alexandria, Virginia, United States. Her parents migrated from the vibrant city of Pereira, Colombia, to American territory in the early 1990s seeking refuge and stability away from the civil conflicts that plagued rural Colombian areas at the time. This bicultural upbringing deeply shaped her artistic vision, dividing her childhood between seasons in Virginia and long stays with her paternal family in Colombia.
