Cart is empty Dayne Malcolm grew up on the beautiful island of Jamaica. As a child, his favorite pastime was singing. Little did he know that his beloved childhood hobby would become a life of music ministry and service. Dayne Malcolm, better known as daMalco, is a laid-back and jovial person. However, when he takes the stage, he allows God to take full control, transforming the atmosphere and leaving each person feeling renewed and restored.
Before moving to the United States, Dayne was very involved in his community and stood out as a talented singer from a young age. He sang with his high school choir and won the Shining Star Award in 2009. He was also a Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) Silver Medalist in both 2010 and 2011. In 2012, Dayne relocated to the United States of America where he was able to see God open doors that he could never have imagined. He provided background vocals for Myron Butler (Grammy and Stellar Award-winning psalmist), Geoffrey Golden (Sunday’s Best Season 7 winner), and Jonathan Nelson (multiple Stellar Award winner), among others. These opportunities give new meaning to Proverbs 18:16, which says, “A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.”
One of Dayne’s most memorable performances was singing the national anthem for the 50th Anniversary of Job Corps, where honorary guest Congresswoman Frederica Wilson was present. Dayne was named Artist of the Month in July 2015 by Caribbean Gospel Buzz, a magazine and promotions company. In 2019, Dayne was nominated for Caribbean Artist of the Year by the Tampa Bay Gospel Awards. Later that year, he received the True Worship Leaders Award. Dayne is also recognized in the South Florida music community for his contributions as a praise and worship leader and guest artist for concerts and other events.
Dayne Malcolm is a recognized recording artist who has released two cover songs. The first, Total Praise, written by Richard Smallwood, is a tribute to Dayne’s mother, a constant source of encouragement, and a testament to his unwavering faith in God. His second cover, America the Beautiful/God Bless America, is an arrangement of two patriotic songs invoking God’s richest blessings on his adopted homeland.
Continuing to share music that glorifies God, Dayne recently released his first original single, “We Give You the Glory,” featuring Jodian Pantry. The song is a heartfelt reminder that no matter what season of life we find ourselves in whether joy, grief, victory, or uncertainty God is always worthy of our praise. The single marks a new chapter in Dayne’s ministry as he continues to inspire listeners through authentic worship and messages of hope. His music is available on all major digital streaming platforms.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dayne founded Dayne Malcolm & Friends (DMnF), a Christ centered music ministry born out of a desire to bring hope, healing, and the Gospel through worship. Guided by the declaration “One God, One Praise,” DMnF exists to win souls, encourage believers, and glorify God through music.
Dayne’s life is evidence that the words of Philippians 4:13 are true: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
