MUSiC COVER STORY<br />
KALI<br />
UCHIS<br />
LIVES A RETRO<br />
DAYDREAM<br />
By Jamila Pomeroy<br />
Kali Uchis, the stage-persona of<br />
Karly-Marina Loaiza, is the Latina<br />
Rosie the Riveter, here to serenade<br />
you with her old school funky flavours<br />
of R&B.<br />
The Colombian-American singer/<br />
songwriter is living a retro daydream<br />
where only the aesthetic remains;<br />
equal rights are praised and<br />
celebrated; and women are at the<br />
forefront of innovation.<br />
Outside of music, Kali says she<br />
spends her time “Investing in<br />
property and going for long walks<br />
on the beach.” Kali states through<br />
her presence that strength can<br />
be found in duality; embracing<br />
old-school feminine visuals, with<br />
modern feminist values.<br />
Knowing her true purpose, often<br />
skipped classes in high school<br />
to spend time in the photo lab<br />
making experimental short films,<br />
explaining why her music videos<br />
carry a highly cinematic quality.<br />
This interest in photography led<br />
her to creating mix-tape cover art,<br />
and eventually music to pair with<br />
these works. As a multidisciplinary<br />
artist, Kali has been able to bridge<br />
her personal aesthetic, persona,<br />
and now empire, outward through<br />
a multiplicity of expressions: all<br />
remaining within the realm of<br />
vintage, pin-up, and visuals of old<br />
