Malika Tirolien

Malika Tirolien is a remarkable singer, musician, songwriter and producer from Guadeloupe who now lives in Montreal. She is gaining international attention with her creative collaborations.

Malika Tirolien's latest release "Higher" is the second part of a tetralogy - four albums, each themed around an element of earth, air, fire and water. The album is a prime example of Afro-futuristic style and was co-produced with Bokanté creator Michael League. It embodies energetic groove with influences from R&B, soul, hip-hop, funk and jazz, occasionally interrupted by French rap parts that "add depth and dynamism to the bold album" (LE DEVOIR). Malika Tirolien takes her listeners on a psychedelic trip that moves from emotionally charged tension to balanced tranquility.

She has already toured over 20 countries with Bokanté. Two brilliant albums by the band have already earned her worldwide acclaim and a Grammy nomination. Tirolien's electrifying performance on "I'm Not The One" (1.9 million YouTube views) is a prime track on the Grammy-winning album by Snarky Puppy, with whom she continues to tour live at times.

Malika Tirolien's powerful voice immediately grabs attention, and her artful compositions convey intense emotion with modern influences from a variety of genres, all interspersed with a deep knowledge of jazz. Her love, passion and respect for music can be felt in every song.

The tour is presented by Jazzthetik and Jazzthing.
