Heather Maloney (born December 4, 1985)[1] is an American singer-songwriter. In 2009, she self-released her debut album, Cozy Razor's Edge, followed by Time & Pocket Change in 2011. In 2012, Maloney signed with Northampton-based label Signature Sounds Recordings[2] where she released Heather Maloney (2013), Woodstock (2014), Making Me Break (2015) and Just Enough Sun (2018). The full-length album Soil in the Sky was released in 2019.[3] Six years later, Maloney released the album Exploding Star, dedicated to her father who died in 2021.[4][5]
Maloney was raised in Hamburg, New Jersey.[2] She studied classical operatic singing, improvisational jazz vocals, and music theory.[1][6][7]
From 2006 to 2009, Maloney lived and worked at a silent meditation retreat center in Barre, Massachusetts, taking vows of silence for days at a time.[2][1] According to Maloney, the silence helped her discover songwriting; she wrote her first songs while living at the retreat center.[6][1][2]
