Tina Malia’s luxurious voice and enchanting presence are creating a stir from coast to coast and across the world. Her original music touches the listener with elevating lyrics and deep, earthy rhythms. Trained as a classical pianist and vocalist, and inspired by her roots in American folk and soul music, she has also been widely influenced by music from around the world. Her music marries the timelessness of all these styles with a new flair all her own.
After studying sound engineering and classical vocal performance, she began her professional music career at age 18 as a producer, engineer and vocalist for a children’s music label out of Northern California. She then went on to produce two of her own recordings, and has just released her third "the Silent Awakening". It features a rich, groove oriented, acoustic and electric feast by percussionist Greg Ellis of Vas, renowned violinist Darol Anger, vocalist Sasha Butterfly Rose, MJ Greenmountain from Hamsa Lila, and more. With Tina Malia on vocals, guitar, 12-string, piano, marimba and hammer dulcimer.
Tina Malia is an integral part of a grass-roots musical movement originating from the San Francisco Bay area, with her talents carrying her over a broad spectrum of musical styles and genres. She has shared stages with India Arie, Bonnie Raitt, Santana, Sheila Chandra, and Michael Franti, and is a featured vocalist with Indian fusion artist Jai Uttal and the Pagan Love Orchestra, hip-hop artist Wisdom, the Goddess Alchemy Project, reggae artist Shimshai and the Natural Mystiquensemble, funk artist Blane Lyon and the Real, and has guested in countless other groups such as Hamsa Lila, I.O.T.O. (with members of String Cheese Incident), Lost at Last, and many other counter culture bands. As well as two European tours, she has also been a main stage artist at many major festivals across the United States including the Oregon Country Faire, Tribal Stomp, Harmony Festival, Earthdance, the Sacred World Music Festival, Reggae on the River and many more.

Let me share words from the Original people of America signed and presented to the UN in Colombia august 2009
Our Thoughts and our Words are one with our life. This is why this message is so important. We say that there is only One Mother Earth. We are all children warmed and caressed by the same Father Sun, tread on the same earth, breathed the same air and bathed in the same water. We are brothers, like the fingers of one hand. We never speak about the colour of skin, underneath we are all equal, and therefore we must work together red, black, white and yellow.
