Alongside her musical career, the 30-year-old has also been the subject of media interest due to her relationship with rapper and singer Don Toliver. The two have collaborated on hits like “Drugs N Hella Melodies,” although their romantic relationship has remained largely private. Uchis and her other half welcomed their first child in March 2024, with her journey into motherhood marking a transition not only in her career, but her home life too.

As she continues to rise in fame, her journey from her childhood in Colombia to her life in California offers an interesting look into her personal and professional evolution as an artist. Here is what we know about the fashionista’s life, from growing up in Colombia to living the celebrity lifestyle in Los Angeles (where her home is currently for rent!).

The Starlet Comes From Humble Beginnings in Colombia

Unlike some of her contemporaries, Kali Uchis did not grow up in an affluent environment. While she was born in Virginia on July 17, 1994 (and named Karly Loaiza), she has strong connections to another country. Uchis spent many of her early years in her parent’s home country of Colombia – specifically in Pereira. Eventually, violence in the area made her family flee back to the US in 2000, where the mother of one has been since.

In Virginia, Uchis’ family lived a pretty quiet life but continued to help family and friends from Colombia. Her dad managed an apartment complex, making things a bit chaotic because people cycled in and out of their home. She lived with her parents and four siblings, so needless to say they spent their time in close quarters. Even with the stress of the situation, the performer learned home improvement skills from her upbringing which may have come in handy in later life. She did construction and auto-mechanic repairs with her family and their visitors, so the community rooted upbringing has made the star no stranger to hard work and perseverance.

Before Her Come Up, Uchis Lived in Her Car

During her time living in Virginia, the “Get You” collaborator was exposed to a variety of musical influences. Kali has spoken frequently about her multicultural upbringing, which combined Colombian traditions with American culture. This unique background played a pivotal role in shaping her musical style, as she drew from both her Latin heritage and the diverse American music scene around her.

She began exploring music at a young age, honing her talents as a singer and songwriter while navigating the challenges of being an immigrant in the U.S. Music was her escape from the real world in her teen years, but eventually she started showing a wild child streak. Uchis began skipping class and not abiding by her curfew consistently. As a result, her parents kicked her out of the house at a young age. As a teenager, she had to live in the back of her car in Virginia – but she did not let that stop her. Instead, the aspiring star invested even more into her passion for music. Although she has since reconnected with her family, she credits this time in her life for keeping her motivated.

Where Does Kali Uchis Live Right Now? More About Her California Home

As Kali Uchis’ music career took off, she made the move to California to pursue her dreams. The vibrant culture and laid-back aesthetic of the city resonated with her, and it soon became her home base. In 2019 she purchased a home in Valley Village for $1.7 million, spanning 4,070 square feet sprawling property. The songbird has shared glimpses of her California residence on social media, but she is relatively private about her home life. Overall, she prefers an atmosphere that encourages creativity and relaxation but also has a homey vibe. The five-bedroom and 5.5-bathroom space has marbling almost everywhere and has an airy feel to it.

Uchis has a penchant for bohemian-style décor, so her home has a healthy amount of beige accents. While the home features vintage looking furniture it is also a very modern home with a large pool and sleek appliances. As Realtor.com shows, the space appears to be both a creative sanctuary and a comfortable living environment, allowing her to focus on her music while also nurturing her artistic spirit.

The black-haired beauty is asking $15k/month from prospective tenants, giving them access to the luxurious spa and charming kitchen inside.

Uchis’ home has been on and off the market for years but most recently listed for $1.799 million. The neighborhood, Valley Village, is within a commutable distance to other trendy neighborhoods and things to do. It is conveniently located near Studio City and North Hollywood.
