Introducing Mahalia, the beguiling voice behind Rudimental's brilliant track 'We The Generation'. Signed to Asylum Records (Ed Sheeran, Rudimental and Charli XCX) at only 17, Mahalia is already turning heads through supporting Ibeyi and Leon Bridges, and joining Rudimental during their shows throughout the summer at Lovebox, Boardmasters and their homecoming show at Hackney Empire.

An incredible musician in her own right, she's been hosting her own 'Mahalia Presents' nights in Leicester over the past few years, curating shows with acts such as Martin Luke Brown, Saint Raymond and JP Cooper. She is featured on, and co-writer of 'We The Generation', and this autumn sees Mahalia taking centre stage with her own EP and string of live dates planned for the rest of the year. She is currently working on her debut album with producers 1985 (Drake, Nicki Minaj) Supa Dups (Bruno Mars, Mary J Blige) and Steve Fitzmaurice (Sam Smith, Aloe Blacc), among others.
