Mahalia is a hugely talented singer songwriter, with a deeply affecting voice, original songs and beautiful new music.
Able to compose and perform on guitar or piano, Mahalia writes songs which are honest, beautiful and full of character, telling stories from her past, and of her future.
A story which started with victory in a local school’s talent contest has continued with live performances in London, Birmingham, Leicester and Bestival, with much more to come in the year ahead.
"Mahalia’s writing is sincere, fresh and pretty damn poetical. The simplicity of the line “I don’t know what it is” that resonates throughout ‘Let The World See The Light ‘ exhibits a sincerity that proves she is as far away from the manufactured automaton that can be modern music as thinkably possible. The crisp tonality on the track perfectly marries folk and soul in a fusion that can only be compared to the extraordinary flair of Adele. Some might say a rather obvious parallel, but one only needs to take a listen to the songstress’s initial performances of ‘Hometown Glory’ for the resemblance to become palpable. "
