Well the Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival is only a few sleeps away and one of the headline acts
has just arrived on Australian soil.

US Songstress Malina Moye touched down in Brisbane from Los Angeles at 6am this morning
checking into the Sofitel Gold Coast.

Moye is one the the headliners for this year’s festival and will play in Kurrawa Park on Sunday the 1st
of June before Joe Camilleri and the Black Sorrows.

Flipping a Fender Stratocaster upside-down, internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter/lefty
guitarist Malina Moye has already worked with such multi-platinum Grammy-Award-winning artists
as Prince, The Sounds of Blackness, Kelis and R. Kelly to name a few. Moye was nominated for Los
Angeles Music Award's "Best R&B Artist of the Year" and went on to win "Best R&B Video of the
Year."

An Alicia Keys with an electric guitar, Malina is the first African American left-handed, female
guitarist endorsee to be included in the Fender Guitar stable, joining the ranks of Eric Clapton and
John Mayer. She has released "Need Your Lovin," the first single from her highly anticipated LP,
"Portrait of a Lady," and is featured in the soon-to-be-released UK documentary "Stratmaster: The
Greatest Guitar Story Ever Told." The songstress has recently been recruited as a UK ambassador
for Prince Charles' Prince's Trust and has donated her single "Say A Prayer 4 U" to the
"Abolishment of Slavery" CD with all proceeds going to the Trust, UNICEF and other charities.

After being on Sony's writing team for two years, Moye's WCE Records released her first R&B single
"Girlfriend" in 2003 to great reviews and followed-up in 2004 with her second single "Alone,"
which was on the charts for 32 consecutive weeks. It peaked at no 9 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop
charts and at number 27 on the hot 100. With an electrifying stage show, Malina and her band
deliver a fresh, intoxicating fusion of R&B, Rock and Soul. BET, Billboard Magazine and some of the
US’s biggest DJs have touted Malina as "a ground-breaking artist" and "a soulful breath of fresh
air."

Born into an acclaimed musical family, Moye has been singing, playing guitar, and songwriting
since she was 9-years-old. At the age of 12, she hit the stage and began performing professionally
as the lead singer in the accomplished family R&B group Les Moye Ice. With Malina in front of the
band, the group went on to play over 1,000 club dates throughout the world.

With her cover-girl looks, Malina Moye continues to build a brand name, and simply put, she is here
to stay.
