Lola Kinks is more than a DJ—she’s a space holder, a storyteller, and a firm believer in the power of music to heal. The vinyl selectress alter ego of L'Oréal Porçeia McCollum, she blends her work as a healing artist, clinical social worker, sexuality educator, and psychotherapist to create sonic experiences that foster connection, joy, and release. Raised between Landstuhl, Germany, and Atlanta,
GA, Lola’s love for music started early, shaped by her father’s AOR, Brit funk, and acid jazz records. Steely Dan, Level 42, and Brand New Heavies were her first teachers in groove, igniting a lifelong passion for deep cuts and soulful storytelling. She’s drawn to the stories behind the sound—the forgotten gems, the undercurrents of history, and the way a song can bring us back to ourselves. For Lola, DJing is an act of communion—a way to invite people into a shared experience that is equal parts liberation, catharsis, and pure, unfiltered joy. Her sets aren’t just about what you hear; they’re about what you feel—about the moments that shake you awake and remind you what it means to be alive.
