Born and raised in New York City, Kara Lu started writing music at age 17, but didn't officially take on the name of Father Koi until the indie-pop release of "Halloween Dancer" in 2019. Since then, she has ventured into experimenting with different sounds and working with various producers (as well as producing herself) to create a variety of sounds and genres, but never deviating from her trademark honest and stripped-down lyrics.
