MALKA first made waves on the music scene as Tamara Schlesinger, the frontwoman of acclaimed alt-folk collective 6 Day Riot and also as a prolific songwriter. Her past work has been included in a host of high-profile syncs for TV series and Hollywood blockbusters – most notably Skins, Scream 4 and 127 Hours.

Now as MALKA - she weaves mesmeric percussive rhythms among a charge of 
irresistible call and response chants and instantaneous melodies. She explores a carnival of global sounds intertwined with an explorative affirming message.

Her highly praised debut album 'Marching to Another Beat' received steady support at 6music from the likes of Lauren Laverne, Chris Hawkins, Nemone and Steve Lamacq and syncs on both MTV and Netflix. Her latest release “Breakout”  has been played on 6music, Radio X and has been playlisted on BBC Radio Scotland has had coverage on high profile press such as The Independent, The Line Of Best Fit and Drowned In Sound.

MALKA is set to release a new album during 2017.

Scarlett de Courcier is a researcher in Psychology & History of Religion, looking into the linguistic development of religious terms and how they affect people's understanding of their own spirituality. She also works for West Sussex Youth Cabinet, helping young people to get involved in democracy; manages an international network of publishers at a new media advertising company in London; and is a freelance proofreader, translator and writer. She loves all her jobs, but when people ask what she does and she replies “I'm in advertising”, she always looks down and slightly to the right. Scar is sickeningly happily married, and lives by the sea with her husband. In her spare time, she likes to read (anything and everything, but a lot of crime fiction), cook, blog, swim, run, sit by the sea at night, sing, write poetry, and sit down with a nice cup of tea. She speaks French and English fluently, as well as Spanish, Italian, German and Romany to an intermediate level, and she has just taken up Sanskrit. She is a petrolhead and is hopelessly addicted to caffeine.
