Mali, also known as Maalavika Manoj, is a talented singer- songwriter hailing from Mumbai, India. Her music is a unique blend of classic pop influences with a contemporary twist, and her debut full-length album, ‘Caution to the Wind,’ has been lauded as one of the most critically acclaimed releases from the Indian indie scene in 2021.
Mali has had the privilege of collaborating with some of the biggest names in the Indian music industry, including Oscar and Grammy-winning composer AR Rahman. She has performed at prestigious venues such as Wembley Arena in London and Le Zénith in Paris, and her voice has been featured in several leading ad campaigns. Her talent has been recognized by major media outlets, including a feature on BBC World News and in the BBC documentary ‘Rhythms of India.’
In 2020, Mali was selected to be part of Spotify’s prestigious RADAR program, which handpicks a select few musicians from around the world for exclusive growth opportunities on the streaming platform. In 2023, she performed at the first edition of Lollapalooza India and at the grand opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center in Mumbai. She was also chosen to represent Apple Music India and showcase her music-making process to Apple CEO Tim Cook during his visit to India. Mali continues to be one of the most innovative singer-songwriters the country has to offer. Her evocative and thought-provoking lyricism, coupled with her angelic vocals and creative production choices make her stand out as one of the most exciting musicians in the industry.

Summer, Berlin 2016: Lucia, trained vocalist, violinist and songwriter, meets multi-instrumentalist and street artist Martie. Fascinated by Martie’s unique approach to creating beats and soundscapes with the help of hardware electronic instruments only, Lucia joins him for numerous improvised live sessions in the streets and parks of Berlin. In the streets their highest goal is to be right in the center of real life, in order to crystallise real moments in real time! The project name, Lucia Fields as „the illuminated fields“ shows their connection to the urban spaces they are performing at (Tempelhofer Flugfeld, Görlitzer Park etc.). Martie’s machines represent the filter through which those natural spaces reflect artificially into their music. Meanwhile Lucia herself illuminates these spaces vocally, by creating tangible lyrical themes. Their musical range sits somewhere in-between trip hop as well as electro pop and techno-ish dance tracks. This gave them the opportunity to play at various different events in and around Berlin. Since summer 2017 the duo started to spend more time in the studio together, in order to create their first album. As a live act Lucia Fields can play concerts, during which they present their finished compositions as well as improvised or partially improvised live sets of 1-4h length! And of course, all of that WITHOUT A LAPTOP!
