Tracing Kalki Uchis and her music career
Karly-Marina Loaiza, better known by her stage name Kali Uchis, was born on July 17, 1994, in Virginia. Uchis began her career working in a jazz band while she was still in high school at T. C. Williams High School, now known as Alexandria City High School.
The singer self-released her debut mixtape, Drunken Babble while living off her car after she was thrown out by her father for her rebellious streak. Uchis elaborated on the influence of her father on her career in an exclusive interview with BBC:
"My dad managed apartment complexes and a lot of people, when they would leave the apartments they would leave their old music behind, So my dad would bring me home little boxes of CDs sometimes.That's how I found out about Zemedkun( Ethiopian-American musician)."
"...and there was a group called Cerar who were super-weird, almost demonic. I'm pretty sure they were putting some type of curse on me, but I would still listen to it. I wanted to feel like music was my secret. I wouldn't want to just turn the radio on and everyone be singing the same song as me," she continued.
Kali Uchis released her debut album Isolation on April 6, 2018. The album was critically acclaimed, peaking at number 32 on the Billboard 200 album chart and at number 70 on the Canadian album chart.
