Hello there! I'm a hobbyist and this is where I upload my work.

I produce electronic music and draw inspiration from various non-electronic artists. I hope you enjoy what you hear as much as I enjoyed making it.

A simple guy from a simple town. 
Passion for music. Yeah!

Music.  No Gimmicks.  No Bullshit.

In less than a year, Malaki has taken the Los Angeles scene by storm delivering exactly that. Melding the power and riffing of Modern Metal with soulful vocals, Malaki was born as a studio project for guitarist Joshua Buma.  

Crafting songs and a musical landscape in his vision, Josh began reaching out to musicians he believed could help bring Malaki to life.  Woven around the guitar riffs of Michael Breamer and Joshua Buma lies the backbone of the group: Bassist Joe Guerra (ex Flatline) and drummer Dave Gentry (ex Otep, Triggerpoint). Together, they provide thunderous pinpoint rhythms complimenting the melodic riffage that Buma envisioned. It was during this time that Malaki sought out the right vocalist to compliment their unique sound. 

After parting ways with their first singer in January 2014, Malaki was on the search for something different. It wasn’t until early summer that Malaki found what they were looking for in Wisconsin vocalist Shauna Lisse (ex Mind Drop). Her voice synched perfectly with what the band envisioned.

After Shauna’s relocation to Los Angeles, it was time to get to work. The band played a couple shows and recorded their first EP which was released on  December 13th 2014. After wrapping up The Blue EP, the band went on a short tour of the west coast to promote the release. A early spring tour followed with a showcase at the legendary SXSW music festival. Immediately after returning to Los Angeles they began recording their next release at legendary Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood while planning several  national tours for 2015.

A  band that’s true to their words : Music. No gimmicks. No bullshit.              

Malaki is music without compromise, and the very essence of artistic integrity.

BIOGRAPHY:

Daniel Tompkins is an award winning and innovative British singer / songwriter from Nottinghamshire in The East Midlands. More widely recognised as the singer for TesseracT with his unique live performances and unmistakable dramatic soundscapes on the highly acclaimed albums ‘One’ and 'Polaris'. Since 2009 Daniel has established himself as a highly respected vocalist with a dedicated worldwide fan base. Arguably one of the busiest collaborative vocalists, Daniel’s voice has been celebrated as one of the best in modern progressive rock and metal.
 
Daniel has released a diverse catalogue of records to date and in doing so demonstrated a natural ability to marry his distinct voice to various genres and yet remain in mesmerising control of his audience. However, much more than a recording artist, he is an accomplished performer who has earned a host of awards and honours having toured the world, sharing the stage with artists such as Iron Maiden, Gojira, Lamb of God, Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Senses Fail, Animals As Leaders, No Use For A Name, Periphery and Protest The Hero
 
Looking to the future Daniel now balances his time between TesseracT and White Moth Black Butterfly and his various collaborations continuing to create a strong impression within the music industry. 
 
PEER AND PRESS QUOTES:

“Dan has a hell of a voice!!!” – DEVIN TOWNSEND 
 
“Check out the awesome vocals of Dan Tompkins, the man can sing YEAH!!’ – JON GOMM
 
“The dramatic soundscapes Dan Tompkins creates really are on another level, standing above the current crop of vocalists out there. Tesseract are destined for great things with a frontman leading the charge like this…one of the best vocals in modern metal” – SCUZZ TV (UK)
 
“An exceptional album from (White Moth Black Butterfly) Dan Tompkins. An absolutely essential work. Experimental, accessible and quite brilliant. This ranks high amongst this year’s progressive releases.” – Classic Rock Presents Prog Magazine
 
“There are so many musicians out there who jump from genre to genre and experiment with different kinds of sound but not all of them are able to pull it off. Out there, a bunch of them have the ability to make things so awkward, you’d just want to question what they were thinking. But then again, there are the special ones, the ones who shine in the dark and shine even brighter against the sun. The One’s who fully understand and are able to control their capabilities and of course the ones who actually know how to take things to the next level. They have this gift in whatever they do, it just works. One man who’s got this gift is UK-based vocalist, Daniel Tompkins – PULP MAGAZINE (MANILA)
