Mahalia

• From: Birmingham, England
• Related Artists: Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Sinead Harnett

Mahalia is a soulful songstress with a distinctly husky set of pipes and an affinity for R&B. The England-based singer finds inspiration in Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, and expands on her love for the legends of soul with her own music. Her 2017 single, "Sober," has over 15 million plays on Spotify alone and her following EP Seasons is impeccable. Mahalia is a gifted vocalist, but adds remarkable energy and attitude to her music that sets her apart. She hit the scene hard in 2017, collaborating on "Hold On" with Buddy and releasing "Proud of Me" with Little Simz, all the while hitting the festival scene hard. Mahalia is young, but she has a developed sound and an infectious energy that we just can't get enough of. Her exquisite debut album, Love and Compromise is everything we could've hoped for and more.
