Hello my amazing patrons!!
I'm going to try something for a bit on this channel where I'll do some very simple full length covers that correspond with shorter TikToks and Reels! A lot of people have wanted full versions of the short form stuff, so I'm adding that to my production schedule!
This cover (and all covers/originals) is available for download on the $5+ tier!
We're working on a little folk music EP that I cannot WAIT to release. It's been SO special t...
Hello my amazing $5+ patrons!
I made this little cover myself just with some synth drones. It's just a demo, but it was SO FUN to sing live. I live for this stuff.
I'm currently working on a folk EP (WOW) so more of this to come!
Enjoy!

As you can tell, we're working on 3 different translates at once! We'll be finishing production for those over the next two months or so, so this is your last chance to contribute for a bit until we pick back up again! We are doing a PSA on the COVID vaccine.
Check out the script, run it through your favorite language combos and let's see what we can come up with!

2021-03-26 16:18:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi everybody, it's Tom!
Malinda and I have been throwing around some songs that we thought might be fun to translate, and I proposed something that is, quite frankly, ridiculous:
An Eminem medley. (DUN DUN DUNNNNN)
I'm unashamed to admit that Eminem has been my karaoke go-to for many years, and I've been rapping his stuff during cover-band gigs in NYC for a while, so I thought it might be fun to explore the absolutely insanity that translating some ...

Hello my amazing patrons!!
I have SUCH A FUN VIDEO for you today! I get to let you into the musical tradition that I grew up in and play around with one of my new favorite creators ever, Cullen Vance! He is a delightful individual and SO talented. Be sure you go follow him!
For anyone who does not have TikTok, I now have a MALINDA- Shorts channel on YouTube!! This will allow you to see what I'm making on TikTok :). So go subscribe here! 2021-03-16 18:28:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello my amazing patrons!!
I FINALLY finished this video once I felt like I had a song for it, so we're giving the people a sneak peek of Figured Out :). I was on vacation with my mom last year, and I didn't listen to any music for 5 days. I learned so much. I hope this video helps take you on that journey with me!
We're finishing up working on a single coming out on March 19th (if all goes well), so get ready for thatttt!!

I wrote this last night and thus far my producer's reaction was "oof" and my mom's reaction was "JEEZ" so I think it hits home xD. We still need to refine it a bit, especially the verses and bridge, but I'm very excited by this song.
Enjoy!

Hello my amazing patrons!
THANK YOU for your help in translating this video!! Have one, one thousand cheeses!! Tom did everything on this video, and I'm so excited to watch him learn and get the hang of the style.
Currently we are running casting searches for a second performer who we'll introduce to you all via a translate of Drivers License, which has been super requested :). Can't wait for that one to come out. And Tom and I are working on the next Expl...

2021-02-05 20:51:43 +0000 UTC View PostHi patrons!
I wrote this a few days ago about surviving the last 4 years with my friend Micah, and we were so excited in the midst of it and now I'm like...meh? xD. I think there's a lot of potential in it, but it needs some rewrites. This would potentially be on the album as the slow, almost "voice memo"-like song.
What hits you and what doesn't? I'm super curious what y'all think of this one.

I have been WRITING pretty much all the time these days and it feels AWESOME I love it. I love working on a bunch of songs at once and pretty much not doing anything else. That's what I'm letting myself do right now and it's so wonderful.
Attached is a little snippet of a song that I'm really liking the direction for. It's called Good Intentions and it's about how I experience anxiety. It's inspired by Billie Eilish and Ella...

Hello my amazing Patrons!!
Y'all ROCKED this translation!! And Tom did such a good job doing his first video without my direction!! We have a great rhythm now where we pass things back and forth at every step, but I let him run with whatever ideas he has (ie that hilarious jingle bit). I can't wait for this series to evolve (LOL) as we go!
We are also developing a "look" for Translate. He'll have a lil blue bowtie just like our lil logo! We should deb...
