Biography

MALINDA is a NY/DC based singer, songwriter and actor with a mission to make community through her art. Her debut EP, Love Letter, and her subsequent singles draw influence from folk, pop, and jazz. Her debut Irish folk EP, "The Folks I Love" saw a return to the music that made her, thanks to a growing audience on TikTok. With the advent of her own music, Malinda is quickly becoming known for her strong sense of vocal storytelling, balancing her pure (to quote her fans) “angelic” tone with a more powerful raw belt.

She began her career as a professional actor in regional theatre, including originating the role of Ella in "Ella Enchanted: the Musical" and winning a Helen Hayes Award for her portrayal of Girl in the DC regional premiere of ONCE. Her original work is a creative exploration of what it is to be a young person in our world today. Dubbed a "social media luminary" by the Washington Post, her YouTube videos range from little conversations, to quirky songs, to fully produced original music videos.
