A Rising Star
MAJOR. first grabbed headlines with his 2016 hit “Why I Love You.” This soulful ballad peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart and racked up over 100 million streams. The song became a popular wedding anthem and showcased his vocal talent, often drawing comparisons to classic R&B artists.
Following this success, he released his debut album, I Am MAJOR. , in 2016. This album mixed R&B, soul, and gospel influences and received significant praise. MAJOR. even earned a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Why I Love You” in 2017. His early career also included a stint on the reality TV show The Voice (Season 3, 2012), where he may not have won, but gained valuable exposure.
Growth and New Music
Since then, MAJOR. has put out several projects, including his 2020 EP Even More. This EP featured tracks like “Even More” and “Diligence,” a collaboration with gospel artist Mali Music. The project continued his tradition of heartfelt, motivational R&B, reflecting his upbringing in a musically inclined, faith-driven family in Houston, Texas. He often credits his father, a pastor, and his mother, a singer, as vital influences on his music.
