Draft:Merilin Mälk

Merilin Mälk (born January 30th 2001 in Kuressaare) is an Estonian singer. In 2018, she became the second runner-up of the Estonian version of the Pop Idol format (Eesti Otsib Superstaari), followed by signing a contract with Universal Music Group.

In 2019, Universal Music released her major label debut "Miljon sammu", which went on to take part in Eesti Laul 2020, Estonia's pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. The song was the most-streamed participating track by the first semi-final, but did not qualify for the final show.

After the show ended, Mälk took time off to continue her studies at Kuressaare High School, graduating in 2020.

In 2021, it was announced that Mälk would again take part of Eesti Laul, this time with the track "Little Girl", written by Karl-Ander Reismann, who ended up winning the same year as a wongwriter for Stefan's "Hope". "Little Girl" qualified for the semi-sinals, but was disqualified due to Mälk's illness, which wouldn't let her perform the song live. A music video participated, instead.

She has collaborated with the Estonian rapper Säm twice: In 2022, they released a collaboration titled "Tuim ja tundetu", peaking at #4 on the Estonian Daily Spotify Chart, and repeated the collaboration in 2023, with an EDM collaboration "11".

In 2023, she performed at the Estonian Music Awards show with her song "Sinisilmne" (Blue-eyed).
