Influences
I think who you listen to and who influences you pretty much go hand-in-hand… It’s quite a plethora of genres but they somehow all make it into my constant musical rotation:
Many of the ladies from Hotel Café including: Rachael Yamagata and Mandy Moore.

Hey there, thanks for visiting my page! I’m Malena.
I’m a nineteen year old singer/songwriter from Connecticut.
I have a love for all things creative, be it singing, songwriting, theater or crafts.
My dream is to move to New York City. I hear if you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere. ;)
I’m a very family oriented person, and I’ve learned through the years that family doesn’t necessarily mean relatives.
In my spare time I love to swim, play dress up, get cozy near a fire, play wii golf, shop and read.
I sometimes laugh at inappropriate times. I apologize for this in advance.
I love to play poker, rummy, and trivial pursuit 90’s edition.
The thing I miss most about elementary school are the obstacle courses on field day.
Never again (knock on wood) will I confuse the break and the gas while driving.
Shopping is seriously too much fun for me. When I worked in the mall, is was ridiculous.
When I’m experiencing something I’m not familiar with, I love to sit back take it in, and hopefully learn.
Coffee warms my soul :)
It takes a lot to earn my trust, but once you have it, I’ll be totally honest with you.
I’m big into high-fives. I think they're the perfect mix of solidarity and joy.
At times I can be very focused, that is until something sparkely passes by.
I sometimes tend to talk a lot without saying a thing.
I’m a hardcore daydreamer.
My motto for life is to follow your dreams, and do what you love. It’s the only way to be happy.
Reality will always be there, but your dreams can only last so long.
I love meeting and talking with new people, so feel free to leave me a comment, message or IM sometime (malenalalala is my screen name).
This past summer I recorded my forthcoming EP with some amazingly talented producers/musicians. It's available NOW!
Please take a listen, and tell me what you think.
