MALIA ROGERS IS A CANADIAN FOLK SINGER-SONGWRITER, ACTOR AND MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST.
Nova Scotia raised, Ottawa-based singer-songwriter Malia Rogers has a clear musical mission: be the first in the room to drop her shield, and in doing so, move others to lower their own.
With sonic references ranging from Feist and Aoife O'Donovan to Dan Mangan and Noah Kahan, Malia's conversational folk offerings carefully balance melancholy and hope, transforming rooms of strangers into rooms of kin with precise lyricism, warmed-honey vocals, fingerstyle guitar and clawhammer banjo.
Malia's debut EP Chameleon and followup single “Sunlight (A Good Death)” explore relationships, grief, belonging, and how we make sense of our stories. Her work has garnered radio play on SiriusXM & CBC, as well as 3 Capital Music Award nominations, a feature at Ottawa Bluesfest, and opening slots for Jim Bryson, Mallory Chipman, and The Ennis Sisters.
With compassion and gentle wit, Malia invites you into the corners of her heart the way she would invite you into her family home on the East Coast: put down the heavy bags, stay as long as you need, and take something with you when you go.
