Malakai

MALAKAI is the musical vision of Colorado/New York based producer and multi-instrumentalist, Malakai Linden. His music draws on many influences and strives to bridge the gap between electronic and acoustic styles, incorporating the sounds of real instruments into beautiful electronic beats. MALAKAI’s live show includes beats mixed with live guitar and other instrumentation. He began producing music in 2011 at the age of 17 under the guidance of acclaimed producer Derek VanScoten (D.V.S*, Cloudchord). Having recently finished up his degree in Music Technology and Audio Engineering at New York University, MALAKAI is looking to the future with a number of new projects on his plate. He recently teamed up with several other New York City based musicians and artists to form It’s Gonna Be Alright – Arts Collective, a group dedicated to bringing people together with forward thinking beats and visual art. At only 22, he’s already been asked to play with nationally renowned artists such as The Polish Ambassador, Random Rab, David Murphy of STS9, D.V.S* (Cloudchord), Emancipator, Michal Menert and Purity Ring.
