Kali Uchis has made an entire universe that exists for her music and the pleasure of her fans. And she's done it all off her own back.

Notion 79 is all about celebrating the breakthroughs. Filled with stories of our favourite pioneers, it’s an issue dedicated to the moments where everything changes and the people that set out to change everything.

Our first cover star is Kali Uchis, the reigning queen of her own self-created universe. Through years of dreamy videos and well-considered collaborations, Kali Uchis has built a reputation as one of modern music’s most visionary new icons. With her debut album on the way and her status at the top of the world assured, we meet her first in LA and then in London to find out she went from sleeping in her car to collaborating with some of the most important musicians of all time.
