Meet Rising Artist MAJIN

By  | 

Tell us about your background getting to where you are today?

I’ve always been singing from an extremely young age. Growing up on Michael Jackson, The Delfonics, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Elton John etc. I would close my eyes and lose myself in the music. This ultimately led to me wanting to create original songs to put out publicly. By the time I was fifteen, I had written more than a few songs, and at sixteen, I had made contact with a fellow artist in the city who owned a studio. From there on out I have been writing, recording and releasing.
 
Where are you from?
While I spent some of my childhood in Southampton, England, I have been in Canada most of my life. Edmonton is kind of a boring place to be if you are a creative; however, I have tried to make it work and so far, it has.
 
When did you start music?
I have been singing since about the age of four.

How did you get into music?

What do you want people to take away after listening to your music?
I want people to listen to my music and feel something. It’s more than just a song to turn up too or a song to feel sad too but more so a song that they can carry with them for a long time. A lot of the music I listen too is music I carry with me always in my mind or my heart.

What does a day inside your shoes look like?
