Malaa

Malaa's forte is stern if frequently humor-laced bass house tracks. Concealing his face in a balaclava, he's presented with an air of mystery, fueling speculation about his true identity. An early press bio dropped a crumb by referring to him as Parisian. Theories regarding his identity have also been fostered by an affiliation with Pardon My French, a collective that includes DJ Snake and Tchami; multiple dance music media outlets have theorized that Malaa's recordings are actually a joint effort from those DJs/producers. The prolific output of Malaa dates back to 2015 and includes Illegal Mixtape (2017) and Illegal Mixtape II (2018), the album Don Malaa (2022), and EPs, headlining and collaborative singles, and remixes numbering in the dozens. Tracks such as "Notorious," "Revolt," and "Made in France" are among Malaa's commercial highlights.
