"With this record, I hope that people can feel my soul and my spirit because, in those solos, that’s what I’m really giving you" – Malina Moye on her new album and the 10 that changed her life

Malina Moye

There are not many guitarists on the planet who do it quite like Malina Moye. As a natural born lefty, she’s known for flipping her trademark Surf Green Stratocaster on its axis and showing the world a thing or two about how to shred it up southpaw style. But the multi-faceted artist has also spent her entire career turning all manner of other rules and expectations upside-down. 

She once made history as the first African-American woman to play the US National Anthem on guitar at a professional sporting event, tore it up as the only female guitarist on the Experience Hendrix Tour back in 2012, and has played alongside luminaries like Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Eric Gales. She’s a Fender endorsee, owns her own record label and has built an astonishing catalogue of genre-defying original music.
