This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Mali Hâf, a rising Celtic alt-pop artist whose music blends mysticism, power, and raw emotion into something utterly unforgettable.
Hailing from Cardiff, Mali is more than just a singer-songwriter; she’s a storyteller, a visionary, and a proud Welsh Wiccan whose roots run deep through her sound. Her music channels a kind of sonic witchcraft, weaving together ethereal melodies and haunting harmonies with lyrics that celebrate identity, empowerment, and the Welsh language itself.
2025 has already been a huge year for Mali. She was named joint runner-up in this year’s Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition, earning not only critical acclaim but also a coveted slot at Glastonbury Festival alongside fellow newcomer Nat Oaks. On stage, Mali’s presence is magnetic; sensual yet fierce, delicate yet commanding. In the studio, her creativity knows no bounds.
Her recent single “Llais” (Welsh for “voice”) was born from a moment of introspection and evolved into a celebration of gratitude and empowerment. Following her bold feminist reimagining of the Welsh national anthem, Mali continues to use her platform to amplify voices and challenge norms, proving herself as one of the most exciting alt-pop artists to watch right now.
And there’s even more on the horizon: this October 2025, Mali embarks on her first-ever headline UK tour, bringing her ethereal soundscapes and spellbinding performances to audiences nationwide. For fans of mystical storytelling, powerhouse vocals, and Celtic-inspired alt-pop, Mali Hâf is the artist you need on your radar.
