Transcript
00:00Hi Billboard, this is Kali Uchis. We have two sold-down nights. Not one, but two.
00:15And to the tour bus tour. A tour? A tour bus, absolutely.
00:20This is where I sit and I drive for 16 hours straight.
00:24I'm not going to help you because they're going to be helpful.
00:26You didn't want me to do that. Okay.
00:30This is our lounge. This is where we lounge at.
00:36Throw up a movie, throw up some music videos and, you know, have a good time.
00:42This is where we heat up our food. It is an air fryer.
00:46This is what I use to straighten my tea leaves since I don't use tea bags, so I straighten my tea.
00:52This is my cash. This is our fridge.
00:56Pasture what's in here right now.
00:58Goat yogurt, which is a lot of what my son eats for breakfast, along with fruits, banana, egg,
01:05coconut, boiled eggs. He loves his boiled eggs, so we boil the pasteurized eggs in catering.
01:11We keep living here.
01:13Please let you go with me.
01:19Tonight we're in Boston.
01:21It's the 17th out of 26 shows for the North American tour.
01:27I feel like I'm really happy with the way the tour is being received.
01:32Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when I was in rehearsals.
01:37I feel like I put things together very abruptly because a lot of things that I had planned for
01:44didn't end up, you know, happening the way that I expected them to happen.
01:49And so I just had to roll with the punches and come up with things on the spot
01:54and change a lot of things creatively, come up with a lot of things in the moment during the rehearsal.
02:00And so the show just kind of took a life of its own.
02:10My main thing is that I like to leave people feeling inspired.
02:13I like to leave people feeling empowered.
02:16That's a big factor for me during my performance.
02:19It's a big part of why I play the video that I do, the montage that I do about immigrants in this country.
02:25Majority of the audience at these shows is Latino.
02:29So it would be a missed opportunity to not empower my community at a time where we are being attacked.
02:36So all of that is a big part of my show.
02:40And what I do is just leave people feeling uplifted, empowered and inspired, honestly.
02:46So I've been happy that people have been enjoying it.
02:50And it's pretty much just been receiving good feedback.
03:05On the average show days, I have been just kind of, I wake up.
03:09I hang out with my son during the day.
03:13And then by the time it's soundcheck time, it's kind of around his nap time.
03:18So I go to soundcheck.
03:21I do, I kind of get into glam almost right after soundcheck.
03:25It kind of depends sometimes.
03:27I probably, I eat right before.
03:29And then, yeah, I just get ready.
03:31I do some stretches.
03:33I check my outfit to make sure there's no issues with my outfit.
03:37I check the content.
03:39I kind of have conversations about maybe things we want to change from last night.
03:44Things that may have not been the way I wanted when I looked over videos from other shows.
03:49And that's pretty much what we do every day here.
04:00This is where my son has slept while sleeping on the bus.
04:04He has a little detail right there.
04:07Okay.
04:08His pillows are avocado brand.
04:12Non-toxic.
04:13Organic cotton.
04:15Pesticide free.
04:16All of that.
04:17This is my restroom.
04:19I don't use the shower.
04:21But this is my bathroom.
04:23This is the water that I drink.
04:25My Erwan water.
04:26My bed.
04:27This is often where my baby ends up sleeping with me.
04:33But he sleeps pretty good in his own space most of the time.
04:37But this is where we play and snap and whatever.
04:41These are my wings.
04:47I wear them for a song called Iguan Quiranje.
04:50And which means just like an angel.
04:53And so of course I have to come out looking just like an angel.
04:57Obviously.
04:58So this is the outfit we're going to wear tonight.
05:03This is a custom sex outfit.
05:06All great.
05:07All green options right here.
05:08This one is my favorite that I wear almost every night.
05:11French Polynesian silk.
05:14This one is Mirapalai.
05:16And um.
05:17Hand crystallized.
05:18It's just gorgeous.
05:19And I'm obsessed with it.
05:20Yeah.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Thank you sex.
05:23Come on.
05:24At Madison Square Garden.
05:25And what I usually do to start my evening is I sign these posters.
05:42Who are my beautiful, beautiful supporters.
05:45Thank you guys so much.
05:52Thank you Bubboy for joining me on the road.
05:54And if you want to see anything else about this era of my life and this tour.
05:58Stay tuned for the Sincerely tour film.
