Check Out Khloe H’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Khloe H.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My story is rooted in the reoccurring cycle of pain and love. when I was a little girl I felt a certain level of lack due to me being raised predominantly by my grandparents. My grandfather was the ultimate entrepreneur. a pastor, a landscaper, a gardener, and the president of a scholarship foundation that he represented for 50+ years, giving seniors in high school Scholarship funds to go to college. My grandmother was an earth angel, SAHM, held tea parties and one was even featured in the local town newspaper together they were soulmates as they were married for over 60 years and she raised seven children alongside him. I’d sometimes get bullied in school. Being fat, always wanting to read at recess and sneaking my library book outside, for being “too happy” and ultimately the number one stinger, for being picked up by my grandparents. Kids were and are still sometimes very cruel. It always made me feel incomplete because it was never my mommy or daddy like my peers. Two things would always help me escape from those feelings, my books and my music. I knew every month of May My grandpa would be hosting his scholarship banquet which some saw as the hottest ticket in town. Each banquet brought on some of the most elegant and dapper attire. Everyone dressed their best, and I always knew that I would be dolled up and getting my hair done. There would always be a professional photographer and a four course meal following a musical performance. The night was always truly Magical and well orchestrated. My grandpa was known for being a man of music. He played piano and long before my existence he would travel with a range of state choirs and conduct their performance at convention centers. We had a piano in our house growing up where he would sit and play and where my sister would sit and practice when he enrolled her in piano lessons. I played violin. My older sister and I would watch countless hours of music videos, and sometimes swiftly change the channel when we would hear our grandparents coming towards the den, we had walkmans our grandparents would buy us CDs and word up magazines from the grocer in grandma‘s car she like to keep music on a Christian station, preferably in grandpa‘s car if he wasn’t listening to NPR or classical music which he would play on the kitchen radio to greet us most early mornings, he would let us listen to the popular radio station that played all of our songs that we still listen to Today. The early 2000s was such an amazing time for music. I still am riding the back of some of the popular songs from this era, my sister and I would always represent our grandpa‘s churches by singing in front of congregations so stage fright has never been an option for me. I can recall countless of days singing loudly to my favorite songs on the radio and dancing in the car. Leadership was instilled in me very early as I am the second oldest of five sisters. My grandpa would pay my older sister and I five dollars an hour to pick pears and apples from the trees in our backyard on his land and pull weeds from his numerous flower beds. “if you’re not going to do it right don’t do it at all.” Was his infamous statement My grandmother was extremely soft spoken. She was a wise owl and taught us so much about forgiveness God and spirituality and her storytelling was absolutely endless and always something to look forward to. She was an amazing singer. I could always hear her voice surpass everyone else’s at church and I loved sitting next to her and playing my tambourine. She was also our Sunday school teacher. We attended church two and sometimes three days a week. The music is always in my head the more I listen to it and the longer it’s been in my life is the way that I’m able to now decode it and decompose the sounds instruments and lyrics. I recently fell in love with a new sound. I moved to Kansas City because my grandfather is from here. We still have family in the city and it’s almost as if I wanted to feel a piece of him. In 2020 I took a risk towards a dream of being a baker. I began baking and doing no contact porch deliveries via facebook and instagram. It was one of the hardest things I had ever done and although everyone was proud to see me in articles, and interviews deep down I was underpaid, overwhelmed, not eating enough protein (veganism) and dealing with a very jealous/abusive ex. (Who made sure I sported a black eye to my grandpas funeral in 2021) I phased out of baking as the constant food poison lists and recalls began to take over my social media feeds, I decided no more. Lets pivot. I had to experience more to gain knowledge of what brought me true fulfillment/joy. Its always been the sounds. I knew I could never see my abusive ex in a grocery store or at a gas station and that gave me solace in making the big leap. when I moved here my expectations were zero and I had no idea that less than a year later I’d be starting the sound chamber experiment and being a part of this interview. about five months into living here just like numerous single moms I told myself I’d never meet anyone if I isolated to the house as if it was still 2020 I had finally signed up for a dating site and matched with a handful of individuals but in August a certain individual that thought my ” voice prompt was everything“ invited me out. I was very engaged to the invitation due to it being a DJ set and I had yet to attend one and that was exactly what I wanted. I was very adamant about becoming friends with someone before even considering dating them. Honestly never thought it would be such a wild ride. Everything in our timeline is rushed, and instantly gratified. I know it’s going to feel weird when I say this, I fell in love with his taste in music. There was nothing like it. Every song that he played was something in a sound that I had never heard before. It’s something that kept me around. It’s something that engulfed me into the soundchamber. He could put on a track in his car at high volume as we cruise through the city, slithering through some of the best neighborhoods in his opinion and listen to his track selection from SoundCloud, I can honestly say that these were some of my most present moments outside of me being that little girl at those banquets and the birth of my children, I would shed a tear at the thought of me thinking I could never feel that present again. Never say never. Here I was completely rejuvenated muscially. I could physically feel my joy returning. the time that was spent together, I was 100% able to just be exist and live in the present I almost felt as if time did not exist whenever we were together, and although self sabotage was one of his main characters,( and sometimes mine too) I would still find so much light in every new experience that he introduced to me. My grandmother passed away last October and it was my first holiday spent without my grandma and grandpa. The winter blues hit me heavy and him as well We drifted apart but the sounds will play on forever. I hope no one ever experiences a double loss like that. I felt like God had stripped me, and I had always been raised knowing that rejection was protection, but it didn’t hurt any less. I am still human. I also know everybody goes through things they do not talk about. mental health in this society is mad. Another reason I wanted to began soundchamber, the sounds always bring me solace. It made me isolate myself from the sounds as a form of self sabotage. I would strip myself of the things that I enjoyed throughout this lifetime instead of doing that this time, I decided to alchemize the pain and dive deep into the things that made me extremely happy as a child that I have the freedom to do as an adult and instead of not listen to music, continue to seek new sounds and like minded people. and that’s when I began to write I started writing just about everything that came to mind. Then I began The Artists Way. my writing became more organized and I would write about love I would write about the bad things that it happened to me. I would write about things that I do with millions of dollars, id journal, and manifest. There were so many things that I was writing and the one thing that I wrote down, I knew I wanted to come to fruition in this lifetime and that’s when I thought how can I bring back the opulent banquet feeling and morph it into the vibes from the house parties I would throw in high school? A concept in itself, the sound chamber experiment. Back in October, he reminisced on an old story about his dad once where he was playing music loud and he told him that he was “in the sound chamber” We would begin to refer to car rides, playing music at optimal volume as the sound chamber. Id text him and say I’ll listen to that in the sound chamber whenever we would go b2b sending each other tracks. not everyone will have a relationship with someone where they have the same taste in music to a certain extent and are able to share tracks back-and-forth, it was something that was genuinely priceless a sensual chemistry almost a genre of its own the playlist were endless, and there was something so magical about being able to share music with someone who had a discerning ear for the sounds. I knew there were more people I had yet to meet that I have musical chemistry with. It would be nice to be altogether as a community in a space where we’re able to discuss the sounds and appreciate them. SOUNDCHAMBER creates opportunity to network and put yourself in a room with people that can inspire you. We can all teach each other something and that’s what makes humanity, beautiful I’m looking forward to building relationships with the members and keeping the sounds alive.The SOUNDCHAMBER Experiment will bring us together. Music is in you.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Adversity has always been a revolving theme in my life. A smooth road was never a luxury of mine until I created one. From being robbed at gunpoint in Maryland, surviving in a small town with minimal public transportation with no car in my early 20’s (legit went 4-5 years no car) to being punched in the face and having to sport a black eye to my grandpas funeral by a man who I thought “loved me” I can truly say adversity has been apart of my story to press me forward. Its crazy how pain is actually a portal. With every ending, break up, job loss, home loss comes a new door. You can choose a familiar path or create a scary/risky one. Start by running towards your fears instead of away from them. A lot of people wont begin to try and process how a “single mum can do something like this” Everyone told me I could not start a baking biz with children. The steroetypes, neglect, constant hate over support is what fuels me. If theyre not hating that means that it doesnt have the motion to become something big. I bet on myself because nobody is coming to save me. Every time I have created something it has been solely on the confidence of me. Once you have the idea you open the universe to making it your reality. My life would not belong to me if I constantly listened to the opinions of others. Now that life has thrown and will continue to throw obstacles at me, I just know it is all apart of the journey, the story. Its continous so lets just dance instead. Lets SOUNDCHAMBER through this life together.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
You’ll never meet another me. Filled with energy, high on life type of gal. I think I am experiencing my 3rd spiritual awakening. My friend likes to refer to me as “Khloe 3.0” because this is a new and improved version of me. Peace and prosperity are my main characters. I love my family time and love having deep diving conversations. I have been updated like an iphone or macbook. I am defiintely known for three things- being a motherly being, baking decadent treats, and being the trusted person with the aux chord on any car ride or party. My love language lies in creating playlists for my friends. I knew I was done with baking and it was time to start something new and passionate again. I know when it comes to music and its ever evolving, I could never stop learning. There is no cap for the sounds. I started asking myself when do I feel the most joy/present? Its whenever I am listening to music. Time stops. Time restores. Time because ease. The magic in every song has helped me on some of my darkest days. SOUNDCHAMBER is not something just here in Kansas City. SOUNDCHAMBER is a community. You can technically soundchamber anywhere with the definition being Soundchambering- verb

1.Listening to music in a confined space at high volumes.

2. Decomposing the sounds, lyrics, and melody of a track. Feeling, listening, embracing the vibrations of sound-opening the valves to new thoughts and feelings while you submerge into the beat
3.A reminder to be silly. to dance. to move your hips. to make that playlist for your crush. to listen to those songs that nobody “likes” but you find interesting. SOUNDCHAMBER is all about discovery and experimenting. when one is listening to music at optimal volume in a confined space like your car your bedroom, a closet, a studio or even a house party.

coming up with the concept now known as sound chamber experiment I thought about this life, this one earthly life is meant to be experimental. I’ve always been extremely interested in all things, futuristic, modern and high society. I’ve researched various private clubs, and some of the most private clubs in the US have some insanely six digit initiation fees. I wanted to create a music club for creators artist, DJs, producers, musicians, self-made, millionaires, painters, contact creators, influencers, chefs, stock, brokers, firm owners, curators, and the list goes on any body in a creative space that has turned nothing into something or that is currently in a position, where they have finally taken a risk towards pursuing their dream, which only a very small percentage of people will do in this earthly life then you belong in this music club if you’re open to multiple genres of music or wanting to gain knowledge on a vast genres of music, this is a music club that you can come to you don’t have to Attend every meeting as we are meeting in a private location that changes with every soirée I have no idea why I said meetings because we will be having a soirée. This isnt your boring members club that has meetings. We want to dance and engage in intimate conversations that you could never hold in the club or bar. I wanted to morph together the feeling of being at an opulent banquet as a young girl with that feeling of house partying-something I was infamous for throwing my days as a Catholic school teenager. think about banquet, black tie, attire cocktail attire meets high Society soirée featuring house, music and beyond. my favorite aspect about the very mysterious sound chamber experiment is that you never know what you’re going to hear when you arrive the selection of music of course will always include those songs. You just can’t party without plus a new sound. membership is currently open for applications here in kansas City MO. You must be 21 years old. To inquire about membership email [email protected] If you cannot physically become a member, thats ok. Keep up with the sounds we are discussing and listening to on our soundcloud account. Our website will be open for applications in May 2025. To be honest there is nothing “regular” about me. Everything in my life feels so tailored to my personal story. My life has always been musical. I have a true authenticity that comes from my wounds that I am consistently healing. I had to tell myself I am allowed to have a luxurious life. When it comes to this life you must have an optimistic/rich mindset. You must tell yourself you are worthy and deserving because this world is ready to tell you and try to make sure that you arent. You must live your life for you-who’s your master? It should always be yourself in this one earthly life. I can say I am most proud of never giving up on me. Mental health is very important to me and I do everything in my power to protect my peace and privacy of my family. I do not post pictures of my children on socials all day, I have started to treat socials like work. I know I am proud of my way to alchemize the pain into something creative in order to release it. I am MOST proud of the mother I have become reegardless of having a combative relationship with my mother. Our relationship is something that will forever be a war room. It saddens me knowing it’s just not a battle worth fighting so I choose peace and love her through it from a far. Most of my peers have positive relationships with their parents and that is on purpose. I am grateful to have positive visuals of what nurturintg and soft parenting looks like. my grandmother lives in me when it comes to mothering. This alone will have me spreading love for the rest of my life, I know how it feels to be without it.

Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I have a podcast that I talk to myself on called Kaviar Khloe Podcast.It is just getting off the ground after many of years talking to myself unrecorded. The podcast is based around my love for caviar and discovering more of the luxurious things in this life (like caviar) New episodes on Saturdays. Books that totally transfixed me through this life are Change your Paradigm by Bob Proctor (this book changed my life) Blind Sided by Stephanie Carey (for those going through break ups) Ikagai, Wherever you Go There you Are, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Girl Stop Apologizing, Get Over It! ,The Dance of Anger, Microjoys, Niksen, and the list seriously goes on as I read these off from my Libby App.
