Overview

Hello, I am a singer, producer, multi-instrumentalist (bass/keys) who plays music under the name Mal Devisa. I play all kinds of music, compose and perform. My music has been featured on NPR, Amazon Prime, Prime Video and is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music etc. I released my album Kiid in 2016 and have released albums since then under the label Topshelf Records. I can play what you need and can travel with accommodation. Open to any kind of event as long as it's safe! Music is for everyone and if my quote is too large, please, lets see if we can barter or figure it out. I'm a full-time student and my dream is to own a house in the Western Mass area, preferably Amh or Leverett.

What to expect

It depends what you ask for. Usually its Bass and vocals, clever lyrics, I can add original poetry, experimental music, keyboard beats, improvisation, invite some friends and play jazz standards, piano music, etc. Any and everything.

About

Mal Devisa is the songwriting, liberation, and poetry project of multifarious artist Deja Carr. She approaches her sound from any and every direction. Masterfully a genre-hopper, her work spans everything from soulful rock to unabashed hip hop, lush experimental to folk, lo-fi to jazz. And if you’re wondering how that can all work together, the answer is just: Mal Devisa. Often accompanied by heavy bass, clever loops, and clever and beautiful lyrics – her voice is probably what will pull you in wholly. Simply and seriously a talent, Mal Devisa’s catalog is an experience that I hope you take some time with.

Additional booking notes

It all depends on what is necessary for your event. Usually, I just need a PA or bass amp, a vocal mic, a boom stand, and maybe a guitar stand. If you'd like me to sit, I would just need a chair.
