Malado! is a powerhouse band from Springfield, MA, seamlessly blending R&B, Hip-hop, Funk, and Neo-Soul since 2008. Their dynamic performances often draw comparisons to legends like The Roots and 1500 or Nothin.

In 2014, Malado! gained national attention as one of the top three finalists on VH1's "Make A Band Famous." Competing against 160 bands worldwide, they secured 90% of the public's votes, impressing judges and viewers alike, though Republic Records made the final decision.

Malado! has played at top venues across New England, including Church and The Middle East in Boston, Maximum Capacity in Chicopee, the MassMutual Center in Springfield, the Mullins Center at UMass Amherst, The Iron Horse in Northampton, and the Eastern States Exposition (The Big E).
