Born the daughter of Laotian Hmong immigrants, Ka Lia would first discover her love for music participating in the school choir & jamming Britney Spears & Alicia Keys records in her free time. After releasing two albums of completely original material under her birth name, she’s back with a new name, stronger vision & newfound reverence for her heritage. The singer released a genre-bending self-produced, written & engineered album “So Good” that mixed pop, hip hop, r&b and language barriers alike! Her special brand of Hmonglish has led to over 5 million streams/views & mainstream radio play. She encourages listeners to step outside their box & into a new, well… universe. 

Ka Lia Universe is part of our seventh series of Levitt AMP Stevens Point.
