Hawaiian-born R&B artist Kali talks about her musical journey from military kid to creating the "Fuck Girl Season" concept for her work as she navigates the music industry on her own terms. She shares deeply personal insights about expressing emotions through music and finding creative outlets when growing up in an Asian Pacific Islander household where vulnerability wasn't always encouraged.

• Growing up in Hawaii until age 8 before moving to Texas when her mother joined the military
• Parents' diverse musical tastes sparked her love of music from an early age
• Writing began as an emotional outlet in an environment where expressing feelings was difficult 
• Developed a strategic "seasons" approach to her music after working in PR and media journalism
• Current "Fuck Girl Season" represents self-awareness, chasing highs, and avoiding consequences
• Recommends channeling breakup emotions into creative outlets and leaning on close friends
• Views vulnerability in men as attractive but acknowledges some things should be handled privately
• Passionate about makeup, dancing, and fashion alongside her music career
• Believes passions are "planted" within us for a reason and should be explored
