"This jazz aristocrat has the kind of chops that stop you in your tracks." – VIBE Magazine

Originally known for her stand-out guest features for Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa, Lili K established herself as a knockout solo star with the April 2015 release of her self-produced, full-length debut album RUBY (via a one-off distribution deal with a local indie label). She’s done numerous TV appearances on ABC and FOX, performed at major festivals including Made In America, North Coast Music Festival, and Pitchfork, and has garnered glowing praise from VIBE, Huffington Post, EW, Consequence of Sound, Karen Civil, and many more top-tier music tastemakers. Jay Z’s entertainment streaming service Tidal dubbed Lili as their very first “Tidal Rising” artist, and the Chicago Reader named her “Best Jazz Musician” in their annual “Best of Chicago” reader’s choice poll in 2015. 

After taking a step out of the spotlight to record her new album Planet of Flowers with The Lili K Band, Lili has returned with exciting new visuals and projects. In November 2016, Lili released the debut single "Magic" via Mass Appeal. A song that combats sexism and misogyny, "Magic" has since been shared and promoted by rape crisis centers, domestic violence centers, and universities. As of February 2017, Lili has a weekly residency with Soho House Chicago, and has landed a recurring role as a background vocalist on Season 3 of Fox's hit show Empire.
