THIS PAGE IS NOT CREATED YET

## WHO IS MALI WILSON TODAY?

Mali Wilson is a GRAMMY-nominated songwriter/producer, recording artist, lifelong recording-studio owner/operator, entrepreneur, philanthropist and community builder.

She spent much of her career behind the curtain — writing, producing, developing artists, building recording environments and creating safe spaces for other people to make music.

Now she's finally standing in front of the microphone herself.

Mali released her debut album, Retro In Real Time, on March 20, 2026.

On July 17, she released “No More Silence,” the song we're building this campaign around.

The song has been submitted for consideration for the Harry Belafonte Best Song for Social Change Award.

But what makes this story unusual is that the campaign didn't create the mission.

Mali was already living it.

## WHAT IS “NO MORE SILENCE”?

“No More Silence” is a call for people to stand together against racism, antisemitism, hatred, division and indifference.

It is intentionally not an angry record.

Mali's message isn't “pick my side.”

It's:

Choose one another.

Speak when another community is being harmed.

Stand beside people who may not look, pray or live exactly like you.

Don't answer hatred with more hatred.

That's also the heart of Spill the Honey — when the world pours out hate, answer with something sweeter and stronger.

## WHY IS MALI THE PERSON SINGING THIS?

This is one of the most important things to understand about her.

Mali is Black, White and Jewish and is grounded in a Judeo-Christian faith tradition.

She has spent her life standing at intersections that other people sometimes treat as opposing worlds.

So Black-Jewish unity isn't an issue Mali selected because it was timely.

It's personal.

Her life allows her to speak about racism and antisemitism without either one being theoretical.

And her approach isn't about deciding whose pain matters more.

It's about refusing to be silent about anyone's humanity.

## WHERE DID THE SONG COME FROM?

An important part of the story begins with the documentary:

Shared Legacies: The African American-Jewish Civil Rights Alliance.

The film explores the historic relationship between Black and Jewish Americans during the Civil Rights Movement.

Mali contributed musically and sang as part of that creative chapter.

That work brought Mali into a deeper relationship with Dr. Shari Rogers and Spill the Honey.

Dr. Shari saw something particularly meaningful in Mali — not only her professional music history, but her personal heritage and the fact that Mali herself could embody part of the bridge the film was documenting.

The question became:

How do we carry this message beyond the film?

That ultimately led to “No More Silence.”

The simplest way I can explain it is:

The film documented a legacy. 
The song was created to help that legacy keep moving.

There is additional documented history involving Sherry Frank and Dr. Bernice King in how these relationships came together, and we'll make sure you have the precise details whenever that deeper origin story is useful.

## THE MOST IMPORTANT RECEIPT: MALI CARRIED THIS SONG FOR YEARS

This is something I really want you to know.

“No More Silence” wasn't written this year for a GRAMMY campaign.

Mali spent nearly four years performing and sharing the song before commercially releasing it.

She carried it from community to community and stage to stage.

People heard it and repeatedly asked when they would be able to get the record.

Eventually Mali decided to release it because she wanted the message to reach people she might never physically stand in front of.

That's why one of our most important truths is:

The song lived in the world before it lived on streaming platforms.

Or even more simply:

She carried the message first. 
The record came later.

## WHERE HAS SHE CARRIED IT?

We have photographs, video, programs and/or supporting material across the journey.

### MOREHOUSE COLLEGE — ATLANTA

Mali performed “No More Silence” at the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College in programming connected with Shared Legacies and Spill the Honey.

This is a particularly meaningful Black-Jewish Civil Rights chapter.

We also have important imagery from Morehouse connecting Mali visually with the history behind this work.

### EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH — ATLANTA

Mali performed “No More Silence” at historic Ebenezer Baptist Church during the recent gathering of Black pastors and rabbis.

The larger gathering included significant religious, civic and Civil Rights voices including Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Van Jones, Dr. Susannah Heschel, Rabbi Dr. Judy Schindler and Dr. Shari Rogers, among others.

Their presence should never be represented as an endorsement unless we have an approved statement.

The importance is the room itself:

Mali was singing about unity in a place where Black and Jewish leaders were actively working on it.

### PEACE IN THE PARK — CENTRAL PARK / NEW YORK

Mali shared the song in programming centered around peace, community and humanity.

We'll provide the exact organizational and United Nations-affiliation language before anything is published.

### BILLIE HOLIDAY THEATRE — BROOKLYN

Mali headlined and shared “No More Silence” in connection with programming celebrating Billie Holiday's 110th birthday.

This gives us a beautiful Black-music, jazz, blues and cultural-history chapter without ever needing to force a comparison between the women.

### JAMES BROWN ESTATE — JUNETEENTH

Mali was a featured performer at the Juneteenth gathering at James Brown's estate in a larger cultural event connected with BMAC and Primary Wave.

The gathering centered Black music, freedom, legacy, ownership and responsibility.

### SPILL THE HONEY — DETROIT

Another important chapter in the Black-Jewish unity and education journey.

The broader performance history also includes Miami, Las Vegas, New York/Moxy/Silver Lining Lounge and other community and live settings.

These aren't simply tour dates.

The song has repeatedly been carried into rooms where music, history, faith, education and social responsibility meet.

## THIS IS ALSO AN EDUCATION STORY

The work surrounding “No More Silence,” Shared Legacies and Spill the Honey extends beyond stages.

It connects to:

schools 
universities 
campus programming 
documentary screenings 
Black-Jewish history 
antisemitism education 
anti-racism education 
interfaith dialogue 
student conversations 
coalition building 
and civic engagement.

This connects naturally to Mali's own long history of youth and educational work.

For me, this is one of the most important distinctions:

A song can move someone for four minutes. 
Education can help the message live for generations.

## WHO WAS MALI BEFORE “NO MORE SILENCE”?

This is where the depth of the story becomes important.

Mali spent decades helping build other people's careers and creative spaces.

Her professional history can be found under several names:

Malissa Hunter 
Malissa “Mali” Hunter 
Mali Hunter 
Malissa “Mali” Wilson 
Mali Wilson

The Hunter years contain a tremendous amount of her documented music-industry history.

## SHE IS ALREADY GRAMMY-NOMINATED

Under Malissa Hunter, Mali was nominated at the 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards for Best R&B Song for “New Flame.”

That's important to state accurately.

And it creates a beautiful full-circle line:

She was GRAMMY-nominated behind the music before she ever asked the world to center her own voice.

## SHE HAS BEEN A STUDIO BUILDER HER ENTIRE ADULT LIFE

Mali has owned, operated and helped build recording studios throughout her career.

During her earlier Atlanta years, she helped take a struggling recording environment and turn it into a creative home associated with an extraordinary era in contemporary music.

Her documented history intersects with J. Cole and Dreamville, including the Friday Night Lights chapter and later Dreamville recording-camp history, as well as an enormous network of artists who moved through those creative rooms.

We don't need to promote the former studio today.

What matters is Mali's contribution and what she learned there.

She learned that artists need more than expensive equipment.

They need:

privacy 
trust 
time 
food 
freedom 
conversation 
community 
and safety.

That philosophy has followed Mali throughout her life.

## STONEWOOD — WHERE THAT PHILOSOPHY LIVES TODAY

Today Mali and Eric own and operate StoneWood, their recording and creative sanctuary in Georgia.

StoneWood is where decades of Mali's experience finally came together on her own terms.

There are recording rooms and writing spaces, but also nature, gardens, food, privacy, mentorship, wellness and community.

It's designed around a belief Mali developed over years of working with artists:

People create differently when they feel safe.

StoneWood is the current studio story.

## MALI BUILT FOR WOMEN TOO

After years in male-dominated music rooms, Mali noticed something.

Men often entered the industry surrounded by teams.

Women frequently entered those same spaces alone.

So in 2008, Mali created EarthGirl.

EarthGirl brought women together around music, songwriting, mentorship, professional development, wellness and collaboration.

The underlying belief was:

We're stronger together.

Again, this is important to the current campaign because Mali was practicing community-building long before “No More Silence.”

## EARTHANGEL WORLDWIDE

That work eventually expanded into EarthAngel Worldwide, Mali's nonprofit.

EarthAngel's work has included:

young creatives 
women in entertainment 
safe creative spaces 
music education 
mentorship 
creative camps 
mental-health/wellness support 
professional development 
community assistance 
environmental stewardship 
and school/community programming.

Mali has also brought educational work back toward Waukegan/North Chicago, where her own story began.

So when we talk about social impact around “No More Silence,” there is a history underneath it.

The service came before the song.

## WHY DID MALI FINALLY BECOME THE ARTIST?

This is one of my favorite parts of her story.

Mali's husband, Eric D. Wilson, would hear her singing around the house.

By then she had spent years pouring herself into everybody else's music.

Eric kept encouraging her to stop hiding her own gift.

To come from behind the curtain.

To pick up the microphone.

To use the voice God gave her.

That encouragement helped Mali begin believing that perhaps she deserved the same faith she had spent years giving other artists.

She didn't return to the microphone because she suddenly started chasing fame.

Love reminded her of her gift.

Eric ultimately became her husband, creative partner and songwriting partner — including on “No More Silence.”

## RETRO IN REAL TIME

Mali's debut album, Retro In Real Time, was released March 20, 2026.

It establishes that Mali isn't simply “the woman with the social-justice song.”

She's an actual recording artist with a musical world rooted in:

soul 
blues 
jazz 
gospel 
live musicianship 
love 
marriage 
faith 
womanhood 
and grown-up storytelling.

The shorthand we've used is:

She didn't arrive late. 
She arrived seasoned.

## WHERE DID THE ARTIST BEGIN?

All the way back at the beginning.

Mali grew up in the North Chicago/Waukegan area, singing with her father and sisters in family churches connected to her great-grandmother, Great-Aunt Catherine and Uncle Arthur Devise.

She was a singer before she was an executive.

Her early path included Chicago commercial/jingle work, songwriting, Nashville, New York and live performance.

Composer Alan Moore was an important early songwriting mentor.

Her relationship with Craig J. Snider also reaches back decades.

So the woman standing at the microphone today isn't someone who discovered singing later in life.

She came home to it.

## CHICAGO + ATLANTA

The simplest way we've found to describe the two cities that shaped her is:

Chicago made the musician. 
Atlanta made the builder. 
Mali Wilson brings both women to the stage.

## THE STORIES AVAILABLE TO YOU

There are authentic stories here for virtually every kind of outlet:

Black culture and Black music.

Jewish life and Black-Jewish relations.

Mainstream entertainment.

Hip-hop.

Soul, blues, jazz and gospel.

Faith.

Women.

Marriage and love.

Mature women stepping into new chapters.

Music business and entrepreneurship.

Studio ownership.

Philanthropy.

Youth and education.

Mental health and safe creative spaces.

Environmental stewardship.

Interfaith work.

Civil Rights history.

Chicago.

Atlanta.

And social impact.

They're not different versions of Mali.

They're different doors into the same life.

## WHAT I HOPE PEOPLE ULTIMATELY UNDERSTAND

Mali learned to use her voice in church.

She became an artist and songwriter.

She spent decades behind the curtain helping others.

She became GRAMMY-nominated behind the music.

She built studios and safe spaces.

She built community for women.

She turned community into service.

She built StoneWood.

She fell in love with a man who reminded her to use the voice God gave her.

She returned to the microphone.

Her life intersected with Shared Legacies and Dr. Shari Rogers.

Her Black, White and Jewish heritage made that history personal.

She helped create “No More Silence.”

Then she spent nearly four years carrying that song into communities before commercially releasing it.

That's why we're here now.

Not simply because Mali wants an award.

But because we believe the life behind this particular song is worth people knowing.

The strongest way I can say it is:

For decades, Mali Wilson helped other people find their voices. Now she is using hers.

She carried the message first. The record came later.

She lived the movement before there was a campaign.

And ultimately:

The song didn't create Mali's mission. 
It gave her mission an anthem.
