My name is Maleena Dominick and I am an artist, musician and a passionate creator. I play bass and sing in the band Chip & The Charge Ups. I also write my own music, sing, and play guitar and bass for my solo project. 

I have been making music since the moment I was born. My dad was always a big influence on me, always encouraging me to learn to make music. When I was 16, I started getting very serious about making music. I joined a band with my dad, Chip and the Charge Ups. 

I also decided that I wanted to put out an album of my own music. I started a project where once a week for 2 years I worked on writing a new song. I ended up writing almost 30 songs in 2 years time, and recorded and released 6 of them on my debut EP, Bruises to Prove It. This album is available at https://maleena.hearnow.com.

I went to college for 3 semesters but ended up dropping out. After dropping out, I was filled with inspiration to write music again after a year and a half of writer’s block. I wrote and recorded an EP entirely by myself and released it. The EP is called Diary of a Music School Dropout.

I have also released 2 EPs, a full length album and a handful of singles with Chip & The Charge Ups. We are also currently working on another EP to be released this year. Our music can be found at https://thechargeups.hearnow.com!
