Mari Malek is a multi-talented force of nature, born in South Sudan and now based in New York City. Possessed with a seemingly innate sense of her own individual style, she is a strikingly formidable presence behind the decks and on the runways.

As the awesomely monikered DJ Stiletto, she forwards a style that is keenly aware the musical zeitgeist, whilst also drawing proudly on her heritage for influence. The resulting mix of house, disco, R&B, hip-hop, tribal and Afro beats is simply like nothing you’ve heard anywhere else - as clients like Vogue, Rolls Royce and President Obama could surely attest.

And while modeling and acting are serious pursuits, she devotes a great deal of her energy to making the world a better place, as founder of Stand For Education - an organization dedicated to providing greater access to learning for underprivileged youth, and especially empowering young girls.

An eclectic genre of music ranging from World Music, House, Top 40, Deep House, Classics, Disco, R&B/Hip Hop, Lounge, Tribal and Afro Beats. She also produces her own music with her band – Haus of Mu.
