Being a Lowkey Superstar, with Kari Faux

In this episode, Niki interviews Kari Faux, a multidisciplinary artist, rapper, and producer. The two get vulnerable and real about the impact of social media, the conflation of visibility with fame and financial security, and the power that having supportive friends and family has on our mental health. Through this candid conversation, Kari talks about the pressures of living in LA, the creative process behind producing and writing music, and how artists are more than 'aesthetic packages' up for consumption.

Kari's music has garnered her millions of streams and a soundtrack feature on the critically acclaimed HBO show, Insecure. Her latest project, Lowkey Superstar is available everywhere. Her work has been featured on PAPER Mag, Pitchfork, Hypebeast, The Fader, NPR, and elsewhere.
