Malcolm has been a professional singer since 1989 making his big break on Sky TV in 1990 with his original soul band Times Square. Malcolm and Times Square went on to win the ‘Sky Star Search’ and were runners-up in the subsequent Manchester Evening News ‘Search for a Star’. Lionel Richie’s music is perfect for private and corporate events with the Grammy award-winning artist releasing songs that have long been held in high regard. Who can forget the lonely piano in ‘Hello’ or the upbeat chorus of ‘All Night Long’?
These classics along with others bring nostalgia and good times to any venue and will have crowds of all sizes dancing along to the beat. Malcolm achieved a personal highlight performing alongside Lionel Richie in 2009 on the BBC One show Totally Saturday. Richie was wowed by the talent of the tribute artist and gave Malcolm his blessing and endorsement as a Lionel Richie tribute act. Malcolm is in high demand internationally with 15 countries under his belt and many more to come. Malcolm performs as solo tribute artist with no vocal backing track ensuring guests hear authentic vocals.
This act, complete with lights, costumes, and crowd engagement has entertained a long list of corporate clients including Thomson Gold, ITV, Manchester United FC, Bibis Italianissimo, China Rose Bawtry, and Crown Golf venues. Malcolm’s set is bespoke and able to cater to all events. For public ticketed events, there is either one 60-minute performance or two 45-minute sets. For private parties, wedding receptions and birthday parties Malcolm can provide a 60-minute Lionel Richie set or a 70-minute Lionel Richie, Soul, and Motown tribute act.
With such an illustrious career, uncanny resemblance, authentic vocals and even the original artist’s blessing; Malcolm is the premier Lionel Richie tribute act in the UK.
