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.[1][2]

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.[3]
After the show ended, Mälk took time off to continue her studies at Kuressaare High School, graduating in 2020.[4]
In 2021, it was announced that Mälk would again take part of Eesti Laul, this time with the track "Little Girl"[5], 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[6], 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).
