Multimedia Artist

BIOGRAPHY

My name is Major G. I am 23 years old. I was born and raised in Nigeria. I moved to Minnesota in November, 2012. I attended Rogers High School and Augsburg University.

My love for music started back in Nigeria when I joined the church choir at a very young age. I loved hearing melodies from different instruments but I was very intrigued with the keyboard and the drums.

As time went on, I started to learn how to play both instruments. When I came to Minnesota, my love for music slightly went away until my closest friends convinced me to start writing music. I started writing music when I was 19 but I never really took it seriously because I did not know if this was something I wanted to do as a career. I always knew I had the talent for music but I did not see myself writing songs.

After writing my first song, I began to find my  love for  writing music. Eventually, I also wanted to learn how to create beats. I want to be my own producer so I began to research what I would need to start recording my songs by myself. I started with garageband which I used to make some of my rough draft songs but I am in the process of switching to Logic Pro and getting a full studio setup.

At first, I was making music just for the fun of it but I had to make a decision as of how far I wanted to go.

Now, I have decided that this is a career path that I want to embark on and my goal with my music is to help the people who have been in similar situations and to provide them with hope that everything will be alright and to not give up on themselves even when others have given up on them. I have decided to take my music seriously and I have begun my process of writing my first album.
