Billboard Charts
Mayer gained the attention of former Geffen Music and Interscope Music President Ronny Vance (Tupac, Gwen Stefani, Stalbumhen Sondheim). Under Vance’s mentorship, Malik released his debut album, DEAR GOD, in 2018 under the moniker, YM. The album achieved great success, including charting on Billboard’s Christian Chart and Mid-Atlantic chart peaking at #17 and #5 respectively, all without any marketing. While promoting the album, Malik had the opportunity to tour throughout the Americas, United Kingdom, Europe, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway performing at popular venues in all the major cities.
