Site Intro from Mali Woods on Vimeo.
There is only one thing you have to know in life, what you want to become. Every action you take is a result of that one decision. If you know, nothing can stop you. Any person can ask Mali Woods who she is, and she can tell you. Ask her what do you want, and she has an answer.
Mali moved here from Minnesota. She sacrificed traditional for unique. Where most people would stop and think, Mali moved. What you already know about Mali is what you know about every other girl who is perusing the same career. Wow, wonderful, amazing she’s played piano since she could walk, she performed here, and performed there, and all these words must mean she is suppose to be a star. Ask Mali, there isn’t any suppose to be’s. In this world, everything is about proving your worth. People look at things thinking “is this worth my time”, “is this worthy of my attention”, “will I benefit”.
Mali’s not in this soul sacrificing business for fame or money. Mali isn’t eating peanut butter sandwiches, skipping meals and taking people’s shit on a daily basis for not having anything to prove her worth. Mali isn’t singing to be seen, or dressing to be noticed. Mali is Mali and you can take her or leave her, but she isn’t giving up. She won’t be stopped, not even by the negativity of uncaring pricks. She won’t stop trying because she can’t. She will tell you THAT is the only suppose to be.
For most women, Mali will be like chocolate, she will just feel good. For others Mali will be an artist you have to really listen to. Nowadays, people have a hard time listening to new artists unless they see the person’s face in every magazine and are force fed the artists song on the radio.
For those who don’t hear her now, they will hear her later. Listen when you want to cause this isn’t traditional. Why? Because you know this story. You have heard this all before. Girl moves from small town with talent, girl plays gigs, girl writes own music, girl trying to make it. Boring.
This can’t be a bio like that, although this may appear like something you might have seen before, it’s not. This artist won’t be treated that way. Mali’s bio is written in her every song. So just listen up.
Hey Malio,

Mali,
You seem like the real article, in fact I’m sure I wouldn’t have signed up to comment on your site if I thought you were typical. Artistry has become a way for those that don’t love the essence and moment of creation, to promote their over blown egos. You’re taking music back where it naturally belongs.

hi mali, you’re serious, aren’t you
Wow, I thought Mali was this serious girl that didn’t laugh much. I like knowing you can smile with so many deep thoughts swirling around in that head.
love,
issy
Hey Mali, I love the Elephant. Was always curious about “Forgive and Forget”…not a fan of forgetting really. Hope you can make it to Molly Malone’s on the 12th, we play at 9pm for an hour. http://www.thelastdancers.com
