Mahalia Barnes has been immersed in music her entire life, influenced by a diverse array of legends including Mahalia Jackson, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam Cooke, Ike & Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, and Stevie Wonder. These influences have molded her into a powerhouse soul and blues vocalist, leaving audiences in awe every time she steps up to the microphone.

Mahalia, alongside her band The Soul Mates, have released three full-length albums and multiple EPs, consistently drawing capacity crowds nationwide. They have toured extensively, both in Australia and internationally, supporting acclaimed artists such as Bruce Springsteen, The Roots, Mavis Staples, Joe Bonamassa, Bryan Adams, and Tom Jones.

Beyond her band, Mahalia is highly sought after as a session and live backing vocalist.
