His story: Michael Malarkey is a true citizen of the world – he was born in Lebanon, raised in Ohio US, groomed in London UK and now based in Atlanta USA.

Perhaps it is his multi-national nature that explains why his music is so dang hard to nail down in terms of genre – which could loosely be described as folk-tronica due the the ever-presence of an acoustic guitar among a rather warped musical backdrop.
He released his debut Feed The Flames EP back in 2014 which his by-then-already considerable fan base were all too happy to bring close to their hearts.

So far this year Michael has released two singles – Scars and Mongrels – which are the first from his debut album, also called Mongrels, due for release on 8 September.

What’s so great about him? If you’re a fan of hit US TV drama The Vampire Diaries – let’s face it, it’s nigh on impossible to avoid it these days – you’ll likely already be familiar with him. He plays Lorenzo ‘Enzo’ St. John.
Suffice to say, Mr Malarkey isn’t exactly dependent on conventional means of acquiring a fanbase to act as an immediate audience for his imminent album release.

That is not to say that he’s your cliched actor suddenly trying his hand at music to up the fame stakes – he has managed to accrue significant critical acclaim from his musical peers courtesy of just how well-written, recorded, produced and generally ambitious his music is.

In our mind, Michael is as legitimate and pensive an artist as you can get.
Most-streamed track on Spotify: Scars (over 360,000 listens so far)

What will he be doing in 2017? Releasing an album.
Debut LP Mongrels is released unto the world in September this year, and in between all that expect more singles and those all-important live dates to be announced shortly.
