She’s a multi-talented artist who truly embodies creativity in every sense — not just through her music, but in the way she shapes her entire artistic vision. From designing her own cover art to directing her music videos, she takes control of the creative direction with an unmistakable flair. Her signature style? A seamless blend of 60s-chic and 90s-urban vibes that she wears like it was made just for her — and honestly, it kind of was. She first stepped into the spotlight with her debut studio project, Por Vida, released back in 2015, which featured big names like Tyler the Creator and Kaytranada, setting the tone for what was to come.
Long before the fame and recognition, she was deeply immersed in the arts. As a young girl, she found her voice in poetry, using words to express emotions and stories beyond her years. In high school, she played the saxophone in a jazz band — a detail that adds even more depth to her musical roots. By her late teens, she was already experimenting with mixed media collaging and diving into video editing and directing, laying the foundation for the visual storytelling she’s now known for.
Born Karly-Marina Loaiza, her journey began in Virginia, continued through her upbringing in Colombia, and eventually led her to Los Angeles, California, where she built her career. On a personal note, she’s been in a relationship with rapper Don Toliver, and the two made headlines in January 2024 when they announced their pregnancy through a beautifully crafted music video. The couple welcomed their son in March 2024, marking a joyful new chapter in her life — both as an artist and a mother.
She’s managed to land features in some pretty major publications, including Vogue, FADER Magazine, and Billboard, among others. It’s clear that she continues to make waves across the industry, with her name popping up in conversations alongside these high-profile platforms. Each feature adds to her growing presence, further solidifying her influence in the space.
