When you're an artist, you're working, literally, for the sole purpose of art, and when people discredit you, it's probably the most disrespectful thing you can do.

Do you. Wear what you want to wear. Be an individual. Be unique and live your best life.

No matter where you are, what point in your life you're at, it's not the end.

Not everything happens when you expect it; it is what it is. The people who ride with you, ride with you.

The reason I made my stage name Kali Uchis is because it's still me in the sense that, my dad called me 'Kali Uchis' my whole life. It's still something I've been called since I was a baby. It's still me.

I'm not a Barbie doll, I'm just a multidimensional human being who likes to make things.
