Musician Bio

Malia Civetz has performed as a vocal soloist on countless occasions across the United States and around Europe in Steve Hackman’s symphonic mashups. She began working with Hackman in January 2015 performing in Beethoven v. Coldplay and continues to lend her voice to that piece and a growing list of symphonic fusions including Stravinsky’s Firebird Remix-Response, Tchaikovsky v. Drake, Skull and Bones, The Times They Are-A-Changin’, Bartok v. Bjork, and Beethoven to Beyoncé.

Malia, a Los Angeles-based recording artist and songwriter, signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music after graduating from the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music’s Popular Music Program. Post-college, she linked up with two music industry powerhouses, songwriter Ross Golan and producer/songwriter JKash, signing to their newly created Friends With Pens. She initially made waves with the independent single ‘Champagne Clouds.’ Ryan Seacrest personally debuted the track on his KIIS FM “On Air With Ryan Seacrest”. The song surpassed 20 million combined streams in just a few months and made Taylor Swift’s “Favorite Songs” playlists on both Apple Music and Spotify.

She moved on to sign a record deal with Warner Records and made her major label debut in 2020 with her first EP, The Flip featuring the triumphant hit single ‘Broke Boy.’ Malia most recently unveiled her latest EP, Heels in Hand in April 2021 featuring ‘Partied Out’ and fan-favorite ‘Sugar Daddy.’ Surpassing 70 million total streams, Malia is independently taking charge of her next era of music and is back in the studio working on her next project.

Her musical accomplishments span over a decade with early highlights that include performing as a ‘Star of Tomorrow’ at the Apollo Theater in New York at age 13, having the privilege to sing for President Obama at age 16 and performing in Barry Manilow’s show at the Paris Las Vegas at 17.
