Malayka's personality is amazing. She delivered amazing vocals accompanied by her piano skills during our event. We are thankful she was able to accompany us through the night at our gala.
Malayka was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very responsive, learned a few new songs for our group and even showed up early to set up and introduce herself. Having an amazing voice and being so amazing with our group was the cherry on top. I could not recommend her enough. Truly an unforgettable evening thanks to Malayka! Thank you so much and can’t wait to have you again!
we had Malayka at our little intimacy event and she was amazing! her vibe, her voice.. .. she just knew how to mesmerize the crowd with her golden voice!
I highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her for future events and recommendations!!
thank you so much Malayka..!
We can't say enough good things about Malayka!!! A professional performance with a great personality. She was fantastic to work with, thru booking, rehearsal, sound checks and event day. She performed twice during our virtual conference and from her opening song to her closing she was perfect. She also engaged our attendees along the way with a running pertinent dialogue. She very nicely tied our conference presentations to the music. She sang so beautifully in english and Arabic we wanted more. I can't thank her enough for her magical performance.
Response from "The Voice" Singer and Event Host Malayka:
Thank you Sandra. It was such a pleasure performing for CMC Ontario and working with you. Hopefully we get to do so again in the future!
Malayka helped make our wedding rehearsal dinner special. Great voice and energy. Loved that there were so many songs we could choose from and she sang them all with such style and passion.

I bring all my own equipment, both audio equipment and professional lighting.
A 20 minute virtual soundcheck before the event is required to ensure quality of sound and connection. This can be done by simply signing onto whichever platform the event will be taking place well before the event, and having me speak or play a couple of minutes of music to check how it sounds on the receiving end.
