Maloney was raised in Hamburg, New Jersey.[2] She studied classical operatic singing, improvisational jazz vocals, and music theory.[1][4][5]
From 2006 to 2009, Maloney lived and worked at a silent meditation retreat center in Barre, Massachusetts, taking vows of silence for days at a time.[2][1] According to Maloney, the silence helped her discover songwriting; she wrote her first songs while living at the retreat center.[4][1][2]
In December 2013, a New York Times blog wrote about and shared a video of Maloney performing 'Woodstock' with Darlingside; the writer favorably compared her to Mitchell.[6] In 2014, Maloney released a collaborative EP with Boston quartet Darlingside entitled Woodstock, where she covers Joni Mitchell's song Woodstock. Following the release of Woodstock, Maloney and Darlingside embarked on a nationwide tour.[7]
Following Woodstock, Maloney joined with producer Bill Reynolds[4] to create Making Me Break (2015). The album features members of My Morning Jacket and The Wallflowers.[8]
Reviewer Elisabeth Woronzoff writing in Pop Matters described Maloney's 2019 album Soil in the Sky as developing "a multitude of captivating musical twists all the while projecting earnest emotionality."[3]
