Story

Canadian-Congolese singer-songwriter LU KALA recently released her FACTOR -funded EP Worthy. Written and co-written with a select group of writers and producers in Toronto, London and L.A, Worthy is unflinching in its tales of personal, hard-earned love lessons. Romantic disillusionment, identity, and self-worth are all laid-bare with breathtaking, unapologetic honesty.

LU KALA as an independent artist was able to make her debut EP on her own artistic terms, which has accumulated over 4 million streams and counting with support from all streaming platforms. This would not have been possible without FACTOR’s Juried Sound Recording Program’s support, which allowed her to make an international quality project, shoot music videos, market the project digitally, and lay the foundation for her future success.
