About Me

Vote for Tina to open the Green Man Festival for the chance to win a pair of tickets >
Tina Mali is about recording the emotions in the moment she creates her songs, leaving pure melodies.
She has crafted a dynamic expressive and atmospheric sound, likened to Bjork, Kate Bush and Tori Amos, with unique melodic hooks and thoughtful, challenging lyrics.
"Amaniaca has a more eastern feel to it, plus sinister heavy strings and thumping drums that add a dark intensity under her rich vocal. Superb stuff that deserves an international market." Jackie Hayden, HotPress
"Tina Mali - A natural born performer." Louise Mackenzie, The Enquirer
“I was particularly blown away by Love Puberty Love, the best I have heard.” Neil Jenkins, Radio Dandelion
“Tina Mali has got an extraordinarily unique potential.” Harri Kakoulli, Squeeze
Previously signed to Sony, Tina’s new project is attracting a following in the UK and beyond. Her music is currently play-listed on Radio FM4 across central Europe. Tina Mali has a strong interest in combining her roots and music influences with traditional instruments and music from all over the world. She has been gigging in and around London with a line-up including hammered dulcimer, cajon, bodhran & darabouka.
