Karly-Marina Loaiza (born July 17, 1994), known professionally as Kali Uchis (/ˈ uː tʃ i s / OO -chees), is an American singer and songwriter. She debuted in the music industry with her 2012 mixtape, Drunken Babble, which was described as "genre-defying". She released her first EP, Por Vida, in 2015 to further recognition. Her debut studio album, Isolation, was released in 2018 to widespread acclaim.

Karly-Marina Loaiza was born on July 17, 1994 in Alexandria, Virginia. Her father moved from Pereira, Colombia to the United States, fleeing the conflict in Colombia. He met Karly's mother in the United States during the early 1990s. Her mother had children from a previous marriage. Karly is their only child together. Her father moved back to Colombia when Karly was in high school in order to take care of his mother, who had fallen ill. Uchis stayed in Colombia with her father and aunts during the summer. While growing up in an immigrant and working-class home, her home life was often filled with hard manual labor. In high school, she learned to play piano and saxophone. Uchis participated in a jazz band, before her graduation from T. C. Williams High School. Uchis often skipped classes to spend time at the photo lab, making experimental short films. Her interest in photography led to her creating mix-tape cover art. Skipping class and breaking the curfew set by her parents led to her being kicked out of her home in her adolescence. 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.

Uchis stated that she is influenced by music of the 1960s, with its mix of early soul, R&B and doo-wop, saying: "Musically and aesthetically, the culture of it just inspires me." She also mentioned that she enjoys jazz, stating during her career beginnings that she draws musical inspiration from Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Other musicians she cited as influences on her sound are Curtis Mayfield, Loose Ends, Ralfi Pagan, and Irma Thomas. Uchis also admires singer Mariah Carey.
