Nova Scotian raised, Ottawa-based singer-songwriter Malia Rogers has a clear musical mission: be the first person in the room to drop her shield, and in doing so, move others to lower their own. Her introspective, conversational folk offerings carefully balance melancholy and hope, touching audiences with precise lyricism, warmed-honey vocals, and thoughtful, spacious instrumentation.Malia's debut EP Chameleon, produced by Neil Whitford and released May 30 2025, draws on folk, bluegrass, and celtic influences to explore enduring themes of identity, relationships, grief, growth, and the stories we tell ourselves – all the while imploring listeners toward kindness, forgiveness, and self-compassion.
