Ghalia Volt

Ghalia Vauthier, known professionally as Ghalia Volt, is a Belgian blues rock singer, guitarist, drummer and songwriter. She has been involved in the release of five albums since 2016, including Mississippi Blend released on Ruf Records. It peaked at number three on the Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart.

Career She was born in Brussels, Belgium. She began her musical journey busking on the streets of her nation's capital city. Let the Demons Out peaked at number 29 Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart in early 2018.

Wishing to embrace the feelings and style of hill country blues on her own, Volt sought out recording facilities at the Luther and Cody Dickinson owned Zebra Ranch, in Coldwater, Mississippi. The resultant album, Mississippi Blend (2019), included contributions from Cody Dickinson and Cedric Burnside sharing percussion duties, with Watermelon Slim supplying harmonica work on five tracks. The album peaked at number three on three occasions on the Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart. Her own material predominated, but she did include her version of the blues standard, "It Hurts Me Too". Volt also co-produced the album with Lawrence "Boo" Mitchell.

In August 2021, Volt undertook a four song long, 'Jam in the Van' live recording, in Mammoth Lakes, California; the results of which were released as an EP.
