About the artist

Magic Malik

Magic Malik is not your average jazz flautist. With a career spanning over two decades, this French musician has consistently pushed the boundaries of his instrument, blending influences from hip-hop, electronic music, and traditional African rhythms to create a sound that is uniquely his own. Born in Paris in the late 1970s, Malik Mezzadri began his musical journey at a young age, studying classical flute before discovering jazz and improvisation. It wasn't long before he caught the attention of the French jazz scene, playing with luminaries such as Laurent Cugny, Steve Coleman, and Ornette Coleman. But it was his work with the legendary Fela Kuti that truly catapulted Magic Malik to international fame. As a member of Fela's band in the early 2000s, Malik's distinctive flute playing added a new dimension to the Afrobeat sound, earning him a reputation as one of the most innovative musicians in the genre. Since then, Magic Malik has released several critically acclaimed albums under his own name, including his latest offering, "Tranz Denied," which showcases his talents as a composer and bandleader. Blending complex rhythms, lush harmonies, and infectious grooves, Malik's music is a sonic journey that defies categorization. Whether performing with his long-standing band The Soul Band, collaborating with electronic producers like Mocky and Rone, or bringing his unique sound to film soundtracks and multimedia projects, Magic Malik continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with a simple wooden flute. With his virtuosic playing, boundary-pushing compositions, and infectious energy, Magic Malik is truly a force to be reckoned with in the world of contemporary jazz music.
