On September 2025, Colombian-American artist Kali Uchis took the stage at New York's Madison Square Garden for the second of two sold-out shows, capping off a decadelong rise to superstardom. Just a few hours before the performance, the 31-year-old mother was backstage, having her glam squad meticulously prepare her for the concert.
Uchis, born Karly Marina Loaiza, has come a long way from her days crafting mixtapes in her Virginia bedroom. Now, she's moving audiences of thousands, all while raising her 1-year-old son and balancing life on the road with her partner, rapper Don Toliver. Despite her immense success, Uchis maintains a sense of tranquility, emphasizing the importance of grounding her team before the show.
"We all do a prayer together before the show to uplift everyone and remind us that we're all on the same team," Uchis says. "That we're here to make something beautiful, inspire people and have a good time." This dedication to her craft and her team has helped Uchis redefine the boundaries of motherhood, biculturalism, and fame, cementing her status as a true powerhouse in the music industry.
