She's the voice you hear in your favorite Chicago hip-hop artist's music (cue Acid Rap and Innanetape), but she has also created an original jazzy, soulful, hip hop sound that is all her own. With inspirations from Ella Fitzgerald to Erykah Badu to Sharon Jones, Lili's love and respect for music is heard loud and clear. The melodic keys, hard hitting drums, guitar licks, and soulful bass of her band are the driving force behind her very musical and fun live shows.

Lili K has performed at SXSW, Lollapalooza, Pitchfork, Summerfest and CMJ, and has shared stages with Musiq Soulchild, Dwele, BJ The Chicago Kid, Chance The Rapper, and Vic Mensa.  She was listed in 'Best of 2013' lists on Rolling Stone, NPR, and Complex for her feature work with Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa. 

Lili is currently working with her band on her self-produced debut album. She's a fresh face to the game with a modernly vintage sound; there is much more to come from this young vocalist.
