As founder of the #BRIGADE™️, Malo strives to push the music narrative forward and inspire everyone to be their authentic selves. Malo translates to "bad" and his work is defined by finding the silver lining in that "bad." For some, being good is bad, and for others, being bad is good. For all, join the #BRIGADE™️.
