I consider this go-with-the-flow-of-creativity music. What I hear in my head & heart & spirit & body music. Christian because that is what I am, and honest because there's tons of things that happen and I like to write & sing about the ones that hit me in a personal way. I love lots of different beats & styles, and utilize them all.
History...well, I've been singing & playing keyboard instruments since i was a kid (you know those little toy pianos?). Mostly inspired by my uncle, Tom Scutti, who would play a big 'ol upright every Sunday night at my Grandmother's house. He had a very rhythmic style with flourishes like Art Tatum, and would really rock that thing!
Got real into voice & synthesizers somewhere along the line. Started writing songs, and then the road of performing in bands & groups, from jazz to choral to rock to liturgical to techno. I performed alot in small venues throughout New York City, and in New Jersey. The songs that have been recorded best are on iTunes, which includes the co-written work "Lori Malvey, Rich Piszker" (Vol. 1 & 2), my solo "Heaven Rising" CD by Lori Malvey (engineered by Don Sternecker at Mix-O-Lydian studios), the duo LoCaRi with producer/writer Rich Piszker, and the band Ground Floor -"Weep No More" CD (co-produced by Alan Douches) featuring my husband Ken Malvey on guitar, Vincent Parziale on bass and George Sigler on drums. I've also done some theatrical music with producer Tony Christopher.
Music is a big part of me, who i am in many ways. And i guess it's an interest to you, that's why you're here. So welcome, and enjoy the sounds.
A song i wrote about possibilities:
"Maybe"
maybe we can only try our best, maybe
maybe we can take a little rest, maybe
maybe there's a love inside we haven't thought about
maybe there's a love above the screaming & the shouts
maybe
maybe we're all in the same big boat
maybe we'd all like to see it float
maybe I'm supposed to be here, maybe so are you
maybe we can toast the day and all that's sweet & true maybe
maybe humble crumbs create the peace
maybe there's a simpler way to feast
maybe all you want and all you need is all around you
waiting for your mind to catch the reason it astounds you
maybe
maybe it'll all make sense one day,
maybe there is a theme to the night's play,
maybe there's a future big & bold I cannot see
maybe there's still hope for dreamers in the night like you & me
maybe...

Some good words:
Psalm 25: 4 - 9
4 Make me to know thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long.
6 Be mindful of thy mercy, O LORD, and of thy steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, or my transgressions; according to thy steadfast love remember me, for thy goodness' sake, O LORD!
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
9 He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
Jesus in the Book of Luke:
22 And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on.
23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!
25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life?
26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!
29 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind.
30 For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them.
31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.
Jesus loves you--never forget it.
Ask Him to help you--He will.
(i know, i'm a bit weird, but just want the best for everybody, and my songs & this prayer is what i've got to give to you)

Psalms 96:
1 O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth!
3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.
