Donning a balaclava, Parisian electronic music producer Malaa has captured the attention of many electro music fans not only for his music, but the mystery shrouded around him. Since the mid-2010s, Malaa has been performing and producing bass-thumping, attention-grabbing electronic songs and remixes that continue to gain popularity. Following the release of his 2022 debut album, Don Malaa, Malaa commenced his 2022 tour across the entire United States. Malaa's style tends to features homogenous bass, grimey but suitable lyrics with impossible to ignore and expressive percussion. The balaclava-bearing artist peaked the interest of some back in 2015 when he released his debut single "Pregnant" under the Fool's Gold Records label. Shortly thereafter, Malaa would storm onto the electronic music scene with the release of "Notorious" on fellow French music producer Tchami's label Confessions. Malaa is credited with a number of remixes and singles from 2015 up to today. His September 2022 album entitled Don Malaa includes 14 tracks and the most popular thus far is a song titled "Deep" featuring DJ Snake and Yung Felix.

Since Malaa never removes his balaclava while being viewed by the public, "who is Malaa?" is a question on the minds of many house music fans. The artist, or potentially group of artists, behind Malaa has remained relatively diligent at hiding their true identity. However, Malaa has dropped hints here and there via social media regarding his true identity and there has been much speculation that Malaa may be the balaclava-covered face that is the collection of combined works between notable artists that include DJ Snake, Tchami and Mercer. Malaa is known as a French DJ due to their participation in the Pardon My French collective, which is a French group of DJs consisting of the aforementioned electronic musicians. No stranger to large crowds, Malaa has performed at a number of music festivals, including Ultra Music Festival, Creamfields, Breakaway, Moonrise, Holy Ship!, HARD Summer, Spring Awakening, and Electric Daisy Carnival. On Spotify, Malaa boasts more than 1.7 million monthly listeners with his most popular tracks being "Notorious" with over 42 million streams and "Made in France" with more than 22 million streams.
