I am an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the renowned Rockacademie in Tilburg, Netherlands, and I have a music studio in the heart of Amsterdam. Working under the name Malvae, I write, sing, produce, mix, master, and perform my own music, enabling me to provide the entire process under one roof. My journey has led me to the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA on nr.17, features in films like the upcoming documentary 'King of the Streets', directed by an award-winning filmmaker, and even a Netflix series. With over 7 million streams to date, I am now excited to share my knowledge and experience with a few dedicated students. Earlier this year, I had the honour of headlining my own show at the Melkweg in Amsterdam, showcasing a self-built live set accompanied by immersive visuals. I also had the pleasure of teaching at Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum. In addition to my artistry, I work as an audio engineer for radio, podcast series, create custom music for film, and offer mixing and mastering services for various clients. I also have experience working on promotion plans and collaborating with PR agencies, which has helped me successfully build my own fanbase of over 10,000 Spotify followers through targeted advertising on Meta. I truly believe that everyone has the potential to discover their distinct sound if they are willing to put in the work. Whether you are just starting your musical journey or looking to dive deeper into the creative process, I invite you to book a lesson with me. Together, we can explore where you currently stand and how I can help you take your music to the next level. I can show you how to work with analog gear, as I have a collection of synthesizers, including the Prophet 6, Moog DFAM, Minitaur, and Ableton Push 3. If you're interested in performing live, we can even translate your music into a live set using Ableton Live and work with Resolume to bring your sound to life visually, creating an engaging experience for your audience. My music often incorporates samples I record from my travels around the world which I manipulate and blend with synthesizers and my voice. I found my sound this way, and I want to guide you on your journey to discovering yours. Don’t worry; we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to find it. I’ll show you the tools to recreate or transform any sounds you already have, helping your productions stand out. Of course, we can also simply talk about your music or receive feedback, whatever you feel is best for you. My expertise includes, but is not limited to, Ableton Live, mixing, mastering, composition, sound design, industry insights, live performance, synthesis, music theory, and audio engineering. While I primarily work in Ableton Live, my knowledge is applicable to any program you use. Lessons will be tailored to your individual needs, and I offer sessions both online and in-person at my studio. I believe in providing a consistent and supportive experience, no matter the format. For online lessons, I use a program that allows me to listen to your music or projects in HD quality through a plugin you load onto your master channel, ensuring we can collaborate effectively in real time. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you grow as an artist!
