"With broken
hearts and broken dreams…I cry out for relief", Malanna sings in
"Wanna Know How I Feel" a self-written song that
is coming out on her debut cd
this fall called “A Musical Reflection Of Light. Malanna was
born and raised in a small
town in Melvindale. She comes from a small family of one
sister and her mother
with a father originally from Europe, who recently passed
away.
Malanna began singing and playing piano
around town at musical plays, ice arenas,
and festivals, from the time she was five years old. Influenced by
classical, opera, rock, and
pop music, she started
writing her own songs when she was sixteen years old. "I was
trying to write my poems
into songs", Malanna says. Malanna started learning piano
when she was nine and
today writes most of her songs on piano. “I have always been
surrounded by all different types of music and wanted to combine
them together into a
unique sound.”, Malanna says.
She then began to produce projects and write
songs with Terry Bolton.
In 1999, She moved to Nashville. As she learned to work on other
projects in the
recording studio, She then started recording her own music in 2006.
“I heard these songs in my head and had to record them. It was
haunting
me, like a ghost“, Malanna says.
There's a strong deep bluesish gospel feel to
Malanna’s debut single,
"Wanna Know How I Feel", released March 2007 and she mixes
outstanding
vocals with pop melodies that swirl around operatic flavored rock.
"Wanna Know How I Feel" has already hit internet radio.
Although Malanna has been through many
obstacles in her life, it is apparent
that she has risen above them. Her
music and performing gives her strength and
inspiration. Malanna loves to
connect with her audience while performing.
She has a true essence of talent and
love for her music. Malanna Monroe is sure
to shine a beam of musical light
into your hearts!
