She's a viral vocal queen and now she's taking over the charts. Mulaa Joans is our Capital Buzz Artist for September.
If you've been anywhere near TikTok recently, chances are you've already heard of Mulaa Joans. The 19-year-old first built a following by posting videos of herself doing covers from her window in her teens and people couldn't get over how incredible her voice is. From Jorja Smith to The Weeknd, Mulaa doesn't shy away from covering huge stars.
Since then, Mulaa has made even more noise by releasing her own music. Her confessional debut EP ÂŁ70 For Peace Of Mind takes inspiration from stars like Billie Eilish and SZA and it's all tied together by her one of a kind talent.

In 2025, Mulaa released a follow-up, Nighttime Religion, to widespread critical acclaim and her new project, That Ain't You builds, on her sound and aligns her with beloved British balladeers like Sienna Spiro and Skye Newman.
From the stirring title track to the cutting 'Phone Sex', the record makes clear why so many people are obsessed with Mulaa. Not to mention, standout heartbreak anthem 'Love Letter' has been streamed over 26 millions.
After supporting Sekou on tour and wowing fans at Reading and Leeds this year, Mulaa is now headlining her first European tour and all signs point to her taking over the world next.
