An award winning bassist, songwriter and composer from Odanak First Nation, Mali Obomsawin's auspicious debut Sweet Tooth (2022, Out of Your Head) received international acclaim and was named “best of the year” from GRAMMY.com to JazzTimes and NPR. Sweet Tooth’s success has brought Mali’s touring sextet to major jazz festivals across the US and Canada, and landed her a triple-feature in the hit FX series Reservation Dogs’ 2023 soundtrack. Mali’s sophomore album Greatest Hits by Deerlady, an Indigenous-gothic duo project with guitarist Magdalena Abrego, was released January 19, 2024. NPR’s Lars Gotrich calls Greatest Hits a “headbang while you weep” record. In addition to touring her various projects this year, Mali’s work scoring the critically acclaimed documentary Sugarcane (dir. by Julian Brave Noisecat and Emily Kassie) had its world premiere at Sundance International Film Festival in January 2024. The film received Sundance’s “Directors Award” and recently announced a distribution deal with Nat Geo and Disney+.
