Malcolm has been exploring his musical talents for some time now. He began playing
drums at the age of ten and ventured over to the guitar three years later. The melodic
and harmonic possibilities of the instrument opened up new avenues for him to express
himself creatively. He joined his first band in the seventh grade and it wasn’t
long before he discovered his passion for live performance, whether as part of a
group or in solo acoustic situations.
Over the next several years, Malcolm began to incorporate his original songs into
his sets. He has been a featured performer at the Muscle Shoals Songwriters' Showcase,
one of the area's most prominent venues. Malcolm has also seen his songs score in
the competitive arena. His song, "Counting On You", was chosen as the winner of
the rock category at the Songfest songwriting competition of the W. C. Handy festival
in the Muscle Shoals, Alabama area. Another one of his songs, "I'm Over You", earned
him the spot of finalist winner in the summer songwriting competition at the prestigious
Berklee College of Music. Both songs are included on his debut EP, "This Feeling".
He is also widely known as an artist willing to lend a helping hand. He has volunteered
his talents to various causes such as Make-A-Wish, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital,
the Diabetes Foundation, the Children’s Miracle Network, and the American Cancer
Society.
Malcolm is an artist whose melodic and hook-laden songwriting skills are on prominent
display, as are his chops as a musician. In fact, the music you hear on most of
his recordings is all Malcolm.
In addition to writing and recording original music, Malcolm maintains a very active
schedule. He graduated magna cum laude with a Business Administration degree in
Entertainment Industry Management from the University of North Alabama. He gigs
regularly throughout the southeast, having performed on esteemed stages such as
Nashville’s famous Bluebird Café and hip clubs Fuel, Lyrix and The Flying Saucer.
He has also played around Boston, hitting area hotspots The Burren, The Lizard Lounge,
All Asia and The Performance Center at The Berklee College of Music. He has recently
started making his mark on the New York City music scene with solid performances
at venues such as Googie’s Lounge at The Living Room and The Cutting Room. Malcolm
also manages to teach private drum and guitar lessons as well.
Currently in production on the follow-up to his successful debut EP, “This Feeling”,
Malcolm is poised for breakthrough worldwide success!
