Artist Biography
Malay is the professional alter ego of prolific Grammy-winning producer, engineer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist James Ryan Ho. While best known for producing Frank Ocean's Channel Orange, Malay was in the game long before then, and has a long and storied credit list. Though active on the independent club and studio scenes since 1998, his first major-label credit was for adding keyboards to the hip-hop track "I Don't Know Officer" by 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Prodigy, and others on the soundtrack to Get Rich or Die Tryin' in 2005. After that, he went on to work with the likes of John Legend, Big Boi, Ocean, Rascal Flatts, and Zayn Malik, among many others. ~ Thom Jurek
