Malaa has embraced his shrouded identity since he exploded onto the scene in 2015. He plays off of his anonymity in his balaclava-clad persona and regular releases of mixes on Soundcloud titled "Who Is Malaa". Malaa began releasing music on Tchami's CONFESSION label with his debut Illicit EP in 2016, followed by the single "Notorious." 2018 was a prolific year of releases for Malaa, featuring the “No Redemption EP” (with Tchami) and additional singles including  “Bling Bling,” “Cash Money” and “We Get Crunk.”
