Early life

Kali Uchis whose real name is Karly-Marina Loaiza was born on July 17, 1994 (age 28 years) in Alexandria, Virginia, United States. Her father moved from Pereira, Colombia, to the United States, where he met Karly’s mother during the late 1980s. Her mother had children from a previous marriage and is from Virginia. Loaiza is their only child together. Her father moved back to Colombia when Loaiza was in high school in order to take care of his mother, who had fallen ill.

Uchis stayed in Colombia with her father, uncles, and aunts during the summer. During the school year, she would be with her mother and older siblings. In high school, Loaiza learned to play piano and saxophone. She participated in a jazz band, before her graduation from T. C. Williams High School (renamed Alexandria City High School). She often skipped classes to spend time at the photo lab, making experimental short films.

Her interest in photography led to her creating mixtape cover art. Skipping class and breaking the curfew set by her parents led to her being kicked out of her home. During this time, she lived in her car and wrote songs on her keyboard which would later come in the form of her lo-fi mixtape, Drunken Babble. She also wrote poetry, songs and music, but did not initially intend to sing, being rather more interested in directing films than being in the spotlight. She was given the nickname “Kali Uchis” by her father.
