WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL SITE OF SAMIA MALIK

Born in Saudi Arabia to Pakistani parents, Samia has lived in the UK since she was a child. 

She writes, performs and produces bilingual Urdu and English songs based on traditional Urdu Ghazal (a highly refined union of poetry with music) extending and subverting the form to explore contemporary issues around identity, race and gender. 

Samia is also a visual artist: her live shows are supported by projections of her original paintings and videos.

Samia says:  

'I believe art can inform and transform. It is a powerful route to explore what we have in common and how we can heal individually and collectively. At a time when barriers are being put up across the world, it is vital to see how art can also unite us, how we can use traditional cross-cultural forms to explore important contemporary issues, while also having fun!'

Songs to Heal and Empower


An electrifying combination of soaring Eastern melodies, powerful, passionate and heartfelt lyrics in Urdu and English, electronics, tabla and deep bass grooves supported by projections of translations and visual art to leave you moved, inspired and energised!


‘From the first note of the first number there was astonishment and rapt attention. There was a  real sense of seeing something never tried before. Experts talk of "fusion"...but no- one's seen fusion like this’

Janet Trewin – Norwich Future Radio


'Iconic songs to heal and empower'  Writer and activist Amrit Wilson — Outline Magazine


ABOUT Songs to Heal and Empower 

Songs to Heal and Empower is the product of a period of R&D, starting during the pandemic, where Samia built her own home studio, began learning about recording, music production and mixing with financial backing from The Arts Council of England, regular support from London based sound technician and artist Camilo Tirado, and working closely with the Home Recording Academy (HRA) run by Dr Isobel Anderson, to produce this groundbreaking genre-defying new work.

Songs to Heal and Empower is touring across the UK in 2023 and the new album will be released across all digital platforms on the 9th June 2023. There will be community workshops so YOU get a chance to participate! 

 

In London Norwich Sidmouth Torbay and Leeds, Samia will be joined on stage by revered tabla maestro Sukhdeep Dhanjal

 

We will have very special guests and details about community workshops to announce in the coming days...
