Born and raised in Memphis, TN; music has always been apart of C maJor’s life. As an infant, his mother would put him to sleep with classical selections. In middle and high school he would go on to perform as a percussionist in his schools’ concert and marching bands. As a music producer/engineer those roots as a percussionist play a major part in the C maJor sound. Drums are EVERYTHING. Percussion holds a certain power in music; the power to make the listener feel and react. As a musician, C maJor plays on that power using the drums in unexpected patterns to get unexpected results out of listeners. As a kid, he grew up listening to the underground sound that Memphis is now taking worldwide. He has worked with hometown legends Gangsta Boo and Project Pat closely as both a producer and engineer. He is also one out of three producer/engineers in the Unapologetic family.

At the core, C maJor is a simple, quiet, calm person. He’ll let the beats do the talking, and they talk a lot.
