Born in London and raised in the South-East of England emerges Essy Maliya; a fresh and new artist, lyricist and instrumentalist who has broken onto the R&B scene with a bang. With parents originating from Nigeria and the sounds heavily influenced by her British upbringing, Maliya used these fundamental elements engrained within her to bring her creativity to life. In early 2023, she burst onto the scene with her debut single titled ‘Same Way’ produced by Rich Music. With influences from the likes of artists such as Aaliyah and Summer Walker, Essy Maliya brings a soulful twist to the British R&B scene we already know, infusing trappy beats with smooth and sultry rhythm and blues chords, thus introducing something fresh and exciting that we are yet to witness in the UK.
