Career
Malinda created her YouTube channel in 2010, but only started posting videos in 2012. Her first videos were some of her old performances at Sidwell Friends School.

It was at Vassar, where she switched into the theater program, that she listened to a version of "Let It Go" from the Disney movie Frozen sung by 25 women in 25 languages. She noticed that the Spanish translation wasn’t quite literal, and she wondered how it would sound if she put it back into English using Google Translate. The results were funny, so she started doing it in other languages. She assembled all the mistranslations into a song that she could sing. In February of 2014, she posted a video of Let It Go from Frozen according to Google Translate, that video becoming her most popular video up to date, which was the beginning of her series Google Translate Sings and her comedian career, that still continues to this day. Over the years, she's worked with many popular YouTubers and singers such as Jonathan Young, Caleb Hyles, Jared Halley, Evynne Hollens and many more. On August 21st, 2018, Malinda opened her music channel, MALINDA, and announced her debut EP Love Letter, which was officially released on September 14th of the same year.

In late 2018, Malinda posted a video of her singing "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" in a church during her trip to Spain. The video quickly went viral and it appeared in many Spanish news and websites.

In March of 2018, Malinda auditioned for a role in the musical ONCE hosted by Olney Theatre Center. In January of 2019, she confirmed that she got the role in the musical. The musical was performed live several times in Broadway shows.

Malinda released two singles on April 19th and May 24th, titled "Unavailable"and "a song about nothing". Later, on July 19th, she re-released a song from September 2018 called "Music Box". Her single "Don't Make Me" was released on October 11th, 2019. The music video for the song was premiered at Buffer Festival on October 3rd, which featured Thomas Sanders.
