D’yani Bio update 2026

Jamaican singer and songwriter D’yani considers himself both a poet and a true student of music. Blending soulful storytelling with modern sounds, his music delivers a fresh, honest, and emotional take on Reggae and Dancehall.
Over the years, D’yani has evolved from an emerging talent into a headline act across some of the Caribbean’s biggest stages and festivals, including Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival, Reggae Sumfest, Intimate Concert, Lost In Time, St. Kitts Music Festival, Barbados Reggae Weekend, and City Splash Festival.
D’yani emerged on the Jamaican music scene in 2022 following the COVID era, quickly capturing attention with “Feelings (Remix)” featuring Jada Kingdom and establishing himself as the newest heartthrob in Jamaican music. He continued building momentum with singles such as “Señorita,” “Goddess,” “Birthday,” “Lock and Key,” and “Ride It.”
Another major step in his career came when D’yani linked with Kareem “Remus” Burrell of XTM.Nation to create “Live A Little,” the breakout record that significantly elevated his profile internationally.
“Live A Little” also caught the attention of internationally renowned producer and media personality DJ Khaled, who shared the song multiple times across Instagram. The two later crossed paths on the red carpet at the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards in New York City, where Khaled was seen singing along to the song and “bussing blanks” a Caribbean expression symbolizing genuine excitement and cultural approval for a song and artist.
At the core of D’yani’s artistry is the message behind Live Life and Prosper, not just the title of his upcoming album, but a mindset he intentionally entered the music industry to represent. It is an energy he personally lives by, even tattooed on his skin. Whether through uplifting records like “Live A Little” and “The Little Things” or heartfelt love songs rooted in vulnerability, connection, and real emotion, D’yani’s music consistently encourages listeners to enjoy life, embrace love, and move through life with purpose and positivity.
Born Andre Chavanie McCormack in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, D’yani initially had ambitions in football before discovering his passion for music alongside friends during high school. He furthered his education in University, but despite opportunities for a more traditional career path, music remained his true calling.
Inspired by legends such as Jackie Wilson, Sizzla Kalonji, Bob Dylan, Mavado, and Bob Marley, D’yani values music’s ability to connect with people through honesty, emotion, and real-life experiences.
Known for his vocal agility, soulful delivery, and emotionally charged performances, D’yani considers the stage his playground. With the tagline “Yours Truly,” he remains committed to creating meaningful music that resonates deeply with audiences worldwide.
Following the breakout success of “Live A Little,” D’yani is now preparing for the release of his debut album LLAP (Live Life and Prosper), arriving Summer 2026 through UK-based label Lizzy Records. The project is being developed alongside Kareem “Remus” Burrell of XTM.Nation, son of legendary producer Philip 'Fatis' Burrell of the iconic Xterminator Productions label. After D’yani’s breakout hit “Live A Little” in 2023, the pair continue to shape the sound and vision of the upcoming album.
Adding to the momentum, D’yani’s latest release, “The Little Things,” produced by Seanizzle, has been receiving strong attention and is further building anticipation for the project.
