Critically Acclaimed MALIKA EP Out Now Featuring The Hit Single "Wolfpack" Ft. BANKS Listen/Share via Spotify

TALA - which means "gold" in her family's native Farsi - is the musical identity of the 26-year-old London-based producer, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist powerhouse. Drawing influence from her multi-ethnic roots and infusing her inherent digital nativism with a global perspective is what makes TALA is a musical tour de force.

Her most recent critically acclaimed MALIKA EP (out now via Sony) has been streamed more than 2.6 Million times across platforms, driven by the potent lead single "Wolfpack ft. BANKS)". Featuring intercontinental collaborators from around the world, including Egyptian rappers Sadat and Alaa Fifty on "Enta Ayez (You Wish)", K-Pop stars WA$$UP on "Tell Me (???)" w/ Mssingno ft. WA$$UP, and London electronic duo Sylas on the track "Praise", T?L?'s most recent MALIKA EP showcases a sonic eclecticism sourced globally but born online.

T?L?'s breakout came with 2014's The Duchess which landed her a record deal with Brixton-based label Aesop. It was an EP of largely instrumental music that was complex, but still beautiful, jumping from idea to idea like a beat tape might. "I always wanted the first stuff I put out to be more production heavy" she says now. "I wanted to bring through the vocal-driven music more slowly". That combination came together later in 2014 with the Alchemy EP, the name itself a nod to her unique fusion of styles.

Stay tuned for more info on T?L? as she gears up for more in 2016!
