Malika Ubaka was born and raised in Oakland, California by parents in the entertainment industry, Malika couldn't help but pursue her own Hollywood dreams. Her mother was a professional dancer and vocalist in various bands while her father was the lead singer and songwriter that toured from Canada to Europe.

It takes an original artist to standout from the crowd especially with an industry saturated with so many beautiful women. But after one listen to her CD you will know that Malika is no joke. Her fiery attitude and heart-felt lyrics, combined make music people are definitely going to feel. She speaks for the ladies with soulful R&B tracks and spits sassy rap lyrics to the fellas in ways reminiscent to the incomparable Mary J. Blige.
