Malan is an exciting new Welsh artist redefining the jazz-pop landscape with her playful, catchy lyrics and laidback, jazzy charm. Since her debut single earned a spot on Spotify’s New Music Friday UK and airplay on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music, she has continued to make waves in the UK music scene.
Her latest single, Dau Funud, marks a significant milestone as her first song in Welsh. Blending smooth jazz influences with contemporary pop sensibilities, the bossa nova-inspired track has been featured on Spotify’s Jazz UK and Fresh Finds UK & Ireland playlists. Malan’s intricate melodies and heartfelt storytelling have drawn comparisons to artists like Eloise, Mathilda Homer, and Olivia Dean, with one blogger noting, “Malan’s sound always stands out thanks to its fresh and elegant lyrics.”
Since making her live debut at the BBC Introducing showcase as part of the BBC Radio 6 Festival in 2022, Malan has played sold-out shows in North Wales and London, performed at festivals like Sŵn and Green Man, and built a growing fanbase, with 16,000 monthly Spotify listeners. With an upcoming EP and more live gigs in 2025, Malan is poised to further solidify her place as a standout voice in the modern jazz-pop scene.
