About Tina Malia:
Her voice is as pure as fresh water bubbling from a spring. As a songwriter, she evokes visions of peace and oneness, yet her words are very much of this world, and of the earth. Her name is Tina Malia, a name that will be well known before long, because this young woman is destined for musical immortality. -Magical Blend Magazine

Tina Malia's crystalline voice and enchanting presence is creating a stir from coast to coast and across the world. Her original music touches the listener with elevating lyrics and deep, earthy rhythms. Trained as a classical pianist and vocalist, and inspired by her roots in American folk and soul music, she has also been widely influenced by African rhythms, Indian mysticism, Middle Eastern melodies, and Celtic modalities. Her music marries the timelessness of all these styles with a new flair all her own. She has been compared to such legendary female artists as Joni Mitchell, Sarah McLaughlin, and Loreena McKennitt. After studying sound engineering and classical vocal performance, she began her professional music career at age 18 as a producer, engineer and vocalist for a childrens music label out of Northern California. She then went on to produce two of her own recordings: Shores of Avalon and Jaya Bhagavan. Shores of Avalon (Higher Octave) is her first solo album of original material, and Jaya Bhagavan (Spirit Voyage) is a collection of Sanskrit chants with fellow musician Shimshai; including guest appearances by world music artists Jai Uttal, Omar Faruk Tekbilek, and Yair Dalal.
