Today we’d like to introduce you to Majr.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve been making music since I was 13. I started as a kid in Toronto, teaching myself how to produce, write songs, and DJ because I was obsessed with understanding how records were made. Over time, I realized I loved every part of the creative process, not just being the producer and writer, but being an artist as well.
After working with some of my favourite artists, including Justin Bieber, Tori Kelly, Pink Sweat$ and Alex Isley, The journey eventually led me to move to the United States before signing a publishing deal with Create Music Group in 2025. Looking back, it wasn’t one big moment that got me here, it was years of constantly creating, learning, failing, and showing up even when things weren’t going my way. Every project taught me something that helped shape the artist and person I’ve become.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Not even close!
I think when we’re chasing our dreams in this industry, we often forget that we’re still human. We face the same challenges, setbacks, and emotions as everyone else. There was a period where I lost everything. I had to financially restart, nearly died, and had to rebuild my life as a whole from the ground up. There were moments where music felt incredibly far away because survival came first.
Those experiences completely changed my perspective though. They forced me to grow as a person before I could grow as an artist. Instead of hiding those chapters, I’ve chosen to build my music around them. The stories I tell now come from lived experience, and I think that’s what people connect with most. My career isn’t built on a perfect highlight reel, it’s built on resilience.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’ve always worn many hats, so I’ve never really been able to put myself in one lane. I love bouncing between different genres and ideas, but the one thing that always stays the same is the story. Whether I’m writing for someone else or releasing my own music, I want people to feel something real.
I think what I’m most proud of is that I’ve built everything by staying true to who I am instead of chasing trends. Every project I make has a purpose, and I put just as much care into the visuals and creative direction as I do the music itself.
What sets me apart is that I’ve spent enough time in the industry to understand both the creative and business side of it. I’m always thinking beyond just the next song, I’m thinking about the bigger picture, the brand, the rollout, and how each release fits into a larger story. I think that entrepreneurial mindset gives me a unique perspective, because I’m not just trying to make great songs, I’m trying to build experiences and create something that lasts.
Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
I think the biggest thing is to stop comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20. Everyone sees the success, but very few people see the years of uncertainty, rejection, and sacrifice that came before it.
I also wish I understood earlier that there isn’t one “right” path. Everyone’s journey looks different, and trying to copy someone else’s career usually leads you further away from finding your own voice. Spend more time creating than chasing validation.
Most importantly, don’t let setbacks convince you to quit. Some of the hardest moments in my life ended up shaping not only who I am as a person, but the artist I’ve become. Keep showing up, keep learning, and trust that consistency compounds over time.
