South Florida’s gospel music scene is anticipating a spirit-filled addition as Jamaican-born recording artist Dayne Malcolm prepares to release his latest single, “We Give You the Glory,” featuring vocalist Jodian Pantry. The track is expected to deliver a message of worship, gratitude, and praise, blending Caribbean musical roots with contemporary gospel influences.
Known professionally as daMalco, Malcolm has earned a reputation as a dynamic worship leader whose performances emphasize both vocal strength and spiritual connection. Whether in church services, concerts, or community settings, his ministry is often described as creating an atmosphere of renewal and encouragement for audiences.
Born and raised in Little London, Westmoreland, Malcolm discovered his passion for music at an early age, beginning to sing at just six years old. His early involvement in his high school choir and local community performances helped lay the foundation for what would become more than two decades in music and ministry. Since relocating to the United States in 2012, he has expanded his reach, building a platform within the Caribbean diaspora and the wider gospel community.
Among his career highlights is a performance of the national anthem at the 50th anniversary celebration of Job Corps, attended by U.S. Congresswoman Frederica Wilson. His contributions to gospel music have also been recognized with accolades including Caribbean Gospel Buzz’s Artist of the Month in 2015 and a nomination for Caribbean Artist of the Year at the Tampa Bay Gospel Awards in 2019, where he also received the True Worship Leaders Award.
Malcolm’s growing catalogue includes recordings such as Total Praise, America the Beautiful / God Bless America, Sabbath Joy, The Prayer, and He Abides (Live). His upcoming single marks the latest step in his evolving musical journey.
Explaining his commitment to gospel music, Malcolm said the genre serves as both a personal anchor and a ministry tool.
“I choose to sing gospel because it’s the one place where my truth and God’s presence meet. It keeps me anchored when life tries to pull me in every direction. Beyond the music, it’s ministry—every note is a chance to reach someone in a place words alone can’t touch,” he said.
In addition to his solo work, Malcolm launched Dayne Malcolm & Friends (DMnF) during the COVID-19 pandemic, a collective focused on spreading faith through music under the theme “One God, One Praise.”
With “We Give You the Glory” set for release, Malcolm aims to continue using music as a vehicle for inspiration and connection, offering listeners a reminder of the enduring power of praise to uplift and unite.
