Here's the scoop...
Malika Tirolien is a Guadeloupean vocalist, producer and songwriter based in Montreal, Canada. She has become an internationally recognized artist through her numerous collaborations with Snarky Puppy, Jacques Schwarz-Bart, Richard Bona, Alain Jean-Marie, Lara Fabian and more. She is also the lead singer of Grammy-nominated group Bokanté and a band member of 4 times Grammy winner Jacob Collier. Her self-produced debut album, ‘Sur La Voie Ensoleillée' (2014) – representing "EARTH" as part of a tetralogy based on the elements – garnered great reviews while reaching #5 on the R&B/soul Canadian iTunes charts.
Her latest album, HIGHER, co-produced by Michael League (Snarky Puppy, Bokanté, Ground Up Music), was released in February 2021 and showcases a new genre called HighSoul, mixing Jazz, R&B, Soul and Hip Hop. It is the second instalment of the tetralogy and symbolizes "AIR." Despite the pandemic, Malika was able to tour the album across Canada and in the US, Brazil and in Europe where she opened for Snarky Puppy on a 12-date tour. Can't wait for the "FIRE" instalment.
