November: Six artists you need to check out this month
Don't say we didn't tell you
Mahalia
Leicester-born r’n’b singer Mahalia signed a record deal at 13 but decided to keep her musical career on the back burner until she finished education. Her songwriting is similarly considered, and muses on subjects such as the hollowness of reality TV fame. Now 19, she’s already worked with Drake producer Nineteen85 and featured on Rudimental’s ‘We the Generation’. The next phase of her career looks set to be as impactful as her stirring vocal delivery.
Mahalia is touring the UK & Ireland in November
