2022 Artists

Lola Kinks (@lolakinksmusic) is the alter ego of L’Oréal Porçeia McCollum (@lorealporceia)— a Philly-based healing practitioner, sexuality educator, licensed social worker, and artist. Born in Richmond, Virginia and raised in Landstuhl, Germany & Atlanta, Georgia, her enthusiasm for music blossomed during her early years abroad. While there, she initially drew inspiration from the jazz rock, Brit funk, and acid jazz artists that her father introduced into their household: Steely Dan, Level 42, and Brand New Heavies, to name a few. A self-proclaimed retro music & pop culture nerd; she lives for deepening her knowledge in oft-forgotten vintage media history, as well as widening her vocation as a vinyl DJ. In alignment with her work as a(n) educator and healer, her greatest passion as a musical artist resides in holding space for folks to learn, unite in joyful communion, & achieve healing through music and movement. Listen to “Pretty Mess with Lola Kinks” every 2nd Wednesday from 7-8pm ET on Great Circles Radio (www.greatcircles.net).
