Jamaican dancehall artist Malie Donn continues to expand his international presence as he prepares to take the stage at Power 105.1’s Power Sessions on Sunday, December 13, 2026, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. The rising dancehall star will share the stage with lineup of performers, including A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, Cash Cobain, KWN and Dolly Babe, marking another significant moment in his growing career and reinforcing his ambitions to headline even larger venues in the near future.
The upcoming performance comes on the heels of a defining year for Malie Donn, whose growing influence within dancehall continues to extend beyond Jamaica and into international markets. With a rapidly expanding fan base, sold-out performances and a catalogue of songs gaining traction across digital platforms, the artist has been steadily establishing himself as one of the genre’s emerging international voices.
Following the September release of his 21-track debut album, The Golden Child, through VP Records, Malie Donn has continued to build momentum with fan favourites including title track “Golden Child,” “Holiday,” and “SWFT.” The album represents a new chapter in his artistic development, showcasing his versatility, signature delivery and ability to connect with audiences through music that reflects both his journey and aspirations.
His growing popularity has also been fuelled by the success of the Van Cleef series, with “Van Cleef 1,” “Van Cleef 2” and “Van Cleef 3” helping to strengthen his presence among dancehall listeners. Meanwhile, tracks such as “Holiday” and “SWFT” continue to introduce new audiences to his evolving sound and the wider body of work presented on The Golden Child.
For Malie Donn, performing at Power Sessions represents more than another appearance on an international stage. It is an opportunity to introduce his music to a broader audience while sharing a platform with established names in the American music industry. The event also highlights the increasing opportunities for Jamaican dancehall artistes to connect with audiences across genres and cultural boundaries.
Having already experienced the energy of sold-out shows and the growing demand for his performances, Malie Donn is now setting his sights on the next phase of his career, with ambitions to command larger stages and headline major venues across international markets.
“Coming from Jamaica, I always dream big, and to see my music taking me to stages like Power Sessions is a blessing because I know how much work I put in to reach this point. Dem call me The Golden Child, and mi plan fi live up to that name because this is just the beginning, bigger stages, bigger crowds, and more history to make,” said Malie Donn.
Embracing the identity of The Golden Child, Malie Donn continues to position himself as an artist determined to turn his early success into a lasting career. His vision extends beyond individual hit records, with a focus on building a strong international touring presence, reaching new audiences and further establishing his place within the global music landscape.
As anticipation builds for his Power Sessions appearance, the December performance is expected to provide another opportunity for Malie Donn to demonstrate the stage presence and musical appeal that have contributed to his growing popularity.
