​Inversion A Cappella is a group local to Salt Lake City. Inversion, in music, is a rearrangement of the top-to-bottom elements in an interval, a chord, or a melody. In Salt Lake City, it’s that nasty smog that gets trapped in the valley. We tie the two together in our name! Our group has been around since November 2015. It all started with a Craigslist ad and a meet up in Kneaders. Now, we’ve performed for Salt Lake Governors, Local Church leaders, and were even finalists in a local YouTube Competition. We sing all year round and all over Salt Lake and Utah Counties. Talk to us about singing for your upcoming event!

​We are Malialole Entertainment. We are currently located in Glendale, Salt Lake City, UT. We teach song, dance, culture and history of our Polynesian culture. Traveling is one of our favorite parts. From California to Massachusetts, we've been able to see, compete and experience so many things.

The group takes more modern approaches and draws inspiration from other ethnic groups on Salt Lake City’s richly diverse west side. They throw pop, hip-hop, African and Hispanic music into the traditional soft and strong beats of the Pacific Islander mix.​
