Mahathi Malladi is a rising South Asian-American singer-songwriter from New Jersey. Known for her smooth, agile vocals, she’s now stepping forward with an emotionally charged pop-R&B sound that feels both intimate and powerful. Drawing inspiration from artists like JoJo, Ariana Grande, Jhené Aiko, and SZA, her vocal agility blends with introspective storytelling to create a sound grounded in R&B, shaped by pop, and rooted in her South Indian identity.
Her debut single, “Say It,” captures the spiraling vulnerability of catching feelings and the tension that comes from wanting clarity from someone who won’t give it. The song moves between hesitation and self-trust, inviting listeners to find empowerment in their own emotional truths.
For Mahathi, songwriting isn’t about the perfect melody — it’s about making room for imperfect feelings.
