CIAO MALZ is a project from Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist Malia DelaCruz.
After moving to New York for college in 2014, Malia stumbled upon a listing for a music studio when she was looking for a studio apartment. Here, she began collaborating with local artists like Hannah Pruzinsky, Ceci Sturman, and James Chrisman of Brooklyn's Sister. trio.
She began working on her own material, and in 2020, she played her first live show as CIAO MALZ, backed by a lineup of college friends. She began to self-release a series of singles in 2021, which found fans at NPR: WFUV and the Loud Women new music site, among others.
In 2023, she began to play bass on live shows for Sister., and issued a cover of Frog’s “You Know I’m Down,” which introduced her to the Audio Antihero record label, through whom CIAO MALZ will be releasing her ‘Safe Then Sorry’ EP on December 6th 2024.
