She is one of the main vocalists of the Filipino girl group Bini. In October 2023, Maloi appeared in the music video for "RomCom" by Rob Deniel. In February 2024, she became a regular judge for It's Showtime's Tawag ng Tanghalan Kids (transl. Call of the Stage Kids). She also starred in the music video for "Dilaw" (transl. Yellow) by Maki in May. In May 2025, she won Female TikTok Face of the Year at the 6th VP Choice Awards.

She completed senior high school at the Japan-Philippine Institute of Technology in Bulacan as a scholar, alongside fellow Bini member Colet in 2024.[5] As of 2025, Maloi is studying communications at Thames International School.[a][7]

In November 2020, Maloi officially became a member of the Filipino girl group Bini as a main vocalist,[11][12] Maloi wrote the rap section of Bini's 2021 song "Kinikilig" (transl. Smitten), along with Mikha.[3]
In October 2023, Maloi appeared in Rob Deniel's music video for the song "RomCom", where she reenacted a scene from the Filipino romantic comedy movie A Very Special Love.[13] In February 2024, Maloi became a regular judge for It's Showtime's Tawag ng Tanghalan Kids.[14] On May 24, she starred in the music video for the song "Dilaw" (transl. Yellow) by Maki. The two portrayed high school students who form a romantic connection as they bond over art and adventure.[15]
On November 30, Maloi sang "Hanggang Ngayon" (transl. Until Now) with Ogie Alcasid at the latter's concert, Ogieoke 2: Reimagined. The track was originally a duet between Alcasid and Regine Velasquez.[16] At Maki's Manila concert in December, Maloi joined him onstage when he sang "Dilaw". He told The Philippine Star, "Dilaw would not be complete if not for Maloi."[17][18] Throughout 2024, major publications recognized Maloi's strong Internet presence. Nylon Manila identified her as an online "trendsetter".[19] Likewise, Billboard Philippines recognized her as an "it girl" and "online persona".[20] On January 29, 2025, Village Pipol unveiled Maloi as one of their nominees for the magazine's 6th VP Choice Awards (VPCA), under the category Female TikTok Face of the Year.[21]
On February 11, Maloi performed "Huwag na Huwag Mong Sasabihin" (transl. Don't Ever Say) with Kitchie Nadal at Nadal's gig in Marikina.[22] On May 30, Maloi won Female TikTok Face of the Year at the VP Choice Awards.[23]
On May 31, her fans held an event called "Everything Everywhere Maloi at Once" in Quezon City, which included Maloi-themed activities. Yzavelle Bevera, one of the organizers, told Rappler, "It's everything about art and everything that she loves and everything that we love about her." The news site reported that over 800 fans were in attendance.[24]
On September 10, Maloi appeared as a special guest on It's Showtime alongside Colet.[25] On September 11, Maloi was announced as one of the mentors for the semifinals round of Idol Kids Philippines, which aired on September 13 and 14.[26] On November 7, she was a surprise performer at Maki's Kolorcoaster concert at the Araneta Coliseum.

Various publications have recognized Maloi for her distinctive fashion sense. In May 2024, fashion magazine Preview and youth-oriented magazine Gen-Z both described her as a "style star".[32][33] Meanwhile, Nylon Manila's Nica Glorioso described her as a "style icon" in September.[34] Glorioso credited her for being "one of the[...] pioneers" in the Philippines for a fashion trend called "Bayonetta glasses",[19] referring to thin-framed, rectangular glasses similar to the pair often worn by the video game character after which it was named.[32]
Roby Altura of Gen-Z wrote that Maloi's stint as a judge on Tawag ng Tanghalan established her as "the poster girl" for the coquette aesthetic.[33] Vogue Philippines has also acknowledged the impact of Maloi's personal style in the public consciousness. Vogue writer Bianca Custodio noted in October, "Picture red Bayonetta glasses, ribbons in the hair, oversized jersey shirts paired with ankle-length skirts, and a bag covered in all kinds of charms, and you'd find it would be hard not to think of Maloi's pale pink flushed cheeks."[3]
Vogue described the aforementioned style as "Maloi-core".[3] Likewise, Billboard Philippines acknowledged the online popularity of the term "Maloi-core", based on Maloi's "habits and quirks".[20] In a report about the "Everything Everywhere Maloi at Once" event, Rappler writer Bea Gatmaytan identified her fans' bracelet-crafting as Maloi-core.[24]
