Hailing from West London, powerhouse Mahalia Fontaine prepares to make her debut, with her fearless new single, ‘Empires’. Drawing from genres as diverse and cultured as London itself, Fontaine curates an eclectic mix of sounds to convey her message. Over the last few years she has grown into a gift that is inseparable from her identity, both multifaceted and dynamic. Her music and voice often belies her rich history, drawing influence from Jazz, Gospel, and reggae, as well as artists like Fela Kuti. It is often an extension of her bold personality - her views, pride in her cultural heritage, and free spirit.

Using her work to explore liberation, faith, and passion, Fontaine aims to not only capture your ears with the layers of sound but also to take you on a musical, spiritual journey as seen through her own eyes. Wielding her voice with maturity of a seasoned singer, Mahalia’s rich tone tells the unwritten stories of loss, grief, redemption, joy and freedom.
