Mali Hâf
“Clad in body paint, the Welsh-language alt pop (think a bass-heavy, ethereal take on neo-soul) star channels ancient Celtic mysticism in a short but engrossing set”
Mali Hâf is a Welsh pop artist crafting emotionally rich, spellbinding songs rooted in language, identity, and modern Welsh culture.
In 2025, she placed Top 3 in the Glastonbury Emerging Artist Competition, marking a major breakthrough moment. Since then, her career has gained rapid momentum, including winning the BBC Round Table, judged by Kate Nash, Bethan Elfyn (BBC Introducing), and Jaguar (BBC Radio 1).
Her music has been consistently supported across the Welsh airwaves, with regular plays on BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio Wales, alongside spins on BBC Radio 6 Music and a recent feature on BBC Radio 1 for a show spotlighting artists for fans of Rosalía.
October saw Mali embark on her first ever tour, including her debut Bristol headline show at The Louisiana, which sold out to a full room. She closed the year performing in Italy at a Minority Language Festival, celebrating linguistic diversity through music.
Now back in Wales, Mali has a packed run of live shows ahead and an exciting wave of new music on the way. With plans to release a new track every month, she’s ready to welcome listeners into the evolving, magical, Welsh witch world of Mali Hâf.
Mali performs at The Dogs Home, Ruabon House on Saturday 28 March, schedule coming soon.
