Malika Ayane

Malika Ayane is an Italian singer-songwriter who's become one of the most distinctive voices in Italy’s pop scene since her 2008 debut. Born in Milan to a Moroccan father and Italian mother, her music effortlessly blends soul, jazz, and contemporary pop with thoughtful lyrics, often exploring themes of love and self-discovery. She gained national fame through appearances at the Sanremo Music Festival, where her smoky vocals and sophisticated style – think elegant piano ballads and dancefloor-ready grooves – made her a fan favorite.

Recent years have seen Ayane keep things fresh with releases like 2023’s *Sottosopra* (featuring the glittery dance-pop title track) and 2022’s introspective *malifesto*. Tracks like the duet *Non esiste altro* and the playful *Una Ragazza* showcase her range, bouncing between emotional depth and infectious energy. Whether she’s revamping classics (her cover of Laura Branigan’s *Self Control* slaps) or crafting new anthems, Ayane remains a shapeshifting artist who makes pop feel both luxurious and down-to-earth.
