We had the good fortune of connecting with Malan The Artist and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Malan The, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
Music and rhythm is in my blood. It comes naturally to me. Wherever there is a great melody, I will sing and dance to it. It is how I express myself and is as natural to me as breathing.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My name is MalanTheArtist. I’m a singer, songwriter, and promoter. I’m Motivated to live life, sing and entertain. I learned that life is short, and you just gotta do it-go after what’s important to you unapologetically. Lots of hard work came with me loving to sing and stepping on stage, so whenever I am blessed enough to touch a microphone in front of an audience, I remind myself to be fearless and to leave everything I’ve got on the stage with no regrets.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take my friend to a spa because she loves to Relax and have a good time. We would eat some good Mexican food and have margaritas (Patron margaritas are my favorite).

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to shout out my manager Dwayne for keeping me humble, booked, and busy!
