Early life and education

While attending TC Williams High School (now Alexandria City High School), Kali Uchis excelled in musical skills, including playing piano and saxophone. She also expressed her creativity by making experimental short films in a photo lab, often skipping classes for which she was kicked out of her home and had to live in her car.

Kali Uchis spent her summers in Colombia with her father, uncle and aunt, and her school days with her mother and older siblings, who supported her musical dreams.
