The Colombian-American sensation brought the house down with a spellbinding, jazzy performance of “Igual Que un Ángel,” accompanied only by a piano and trumpet, and rocked a chic black gown and sleek updo that screamed star power.
Kali Uchis, who took home the Rising Star award, kept her acceptance speech short but sweet, letting her music do most of the talking. Peso Pluma, who appeared via video to present the award, hailed her as a “talented and multifaceted woman,” a nod to her incredible range across R&B, neo-soul, pop, and Latin rhythms. The audience couldn’t help but rise to their feet in a thunderous ovation as Uchis thanked Billboard, her fans, and the big man upstairs for her ever-growing career.
It was a night to remember, confirming Kali Uchis not just as a musician to watch, but a bonafide music industry powerhouse.
