Background
Maloi, born Mary Loi Yves Ricalde, is a Filipino singer and songwriter best known as the Main Vocalist of BINI. Born in Lemery, Batangas, she is the youngest of four siblings and discovered her love for music at an incredibly young age, beginning to sing when she was just three years old. Throughout childhood, she regularly participated in singing competitions and developed the vocal skills that would later make her one of BINI's strongest performers.
Interestingly, Maloi never intended to audition for Star Hunt Academy herself. She originally accompanied her younger sister to an audition, but talent scouts noticed her potential and encouraged her to audition as well. That unexpected opportunity ultimately changed her life. Since debuting with BINI in 2021, Maloi has become known for her powerful vocals, cheerful personality, songwriting talent, and infectious sense of humor.
