Malia, an LA-based recording artist and Warner Chappell published songwriter, has been in the industry since graduating from the USC’ s Thornton School of Music’ s Popular Music Program. Post-college, she linked up with powerhouse songwriters, Ross Golan and JKash, signing to their newly created Friends With Pens. She initially made waves with the independent single“ Champagne Clouds.” Ryan Seacrest debuted the track on his radio show on KIIS FM. Quickly, the song surpassed 20 million streams and made Taylor Swift’ s“ Favorite Songs” playlists on both Apple Music and Spotify.
She then signed a record deal with Warner Records and made her major label debut with her first EP, The Flip, featuring her hit single“ Broke Boy” followed by her EP, Heels in Hand. Surpassing 200 million total streams as a songwriter and artist, Malia is independently taking charge of her next era of music and is back in the studio working on her next project, as well as writing with other artists.
Her musical accomplishments span over two decades with early highlights including performing as a Star of Tomorrow at the Apollo Theater in New York at age 13, having the privilege to sing for President Obama at age 16, and performing in Barry Manilow’ s show at the Paris Las Vegas at 17.
