About this listen

 She’s not here to follow trends—she’s here to write her own story. Maalavika Manoj, better known as Mali, is the soulful voice behind some of India’s most emotionally honest indie pop. With lyrics that cut deep and melodies that linger long after the song ends, Mali is quietly leading a movement of introspective, fearless music. From Chennai’s local stages to international recognition at the MTV European Music Awards, her rise has been anything but manufactured. Mali writes from the heart, often about change, identity, and growing up in a fast-moving world—and fans are listening. In this episode, we explore Mali’s creative journey: how she left the mainstream behind to stay true to her indie roots, how being a woman in the Indian music industry shaped her sound, and why her debut album Caution to the Wind struck such a powerful chord.
