There has always been a steady flow of DJs, musicians and producers who have taken as their influence and experience the rich musical backdrop of reggae, soul, jazz, hip hop, funk and punk that has for the last 30 years been an integral part of West London. Sometimes you come across a producer that incorporates a complex web of influences that reflect as much about the environment it was made in as revealing the artist behind the music. Major's productions are far from one particular genre of music, but his style comes with uniquely British concoctions that exude pure class.
Major has recently set up his own production company No Apologies and a publishing company Apologise for what. Within the last year, No Apologies has signed and is in the completion phase of two individual debut album of two notably new artists by the names of Séyi (pronounced Shay) and Doom-Man. Anyone listening to these albums will not only be hugely impressed by them individually but what noticeably comes to light, which is typical to Major's varied musical style, is that he worked on both these albums within the same period, and with one (Séyi's) being a Urban Rock album the other ( Doom-Man's ) album immersed in Hip Hop, its clear that previously mentioned accolades describing him as not being pinned down to one style still rings true today and the diverse influences can be heard in the various styles he adopts.
Producing music for others came about after what seemed like an unfortunate turn of events for Major, when the label he was signed to as an artist closed down. The plug was pulled on Sony's sub label Disco Volante just as Major had completed his own debut album entitled My Mood and was just about to release it. However, in the build up to release, the album surfaced long enough to give us a glimpse into Major (as an artist) and received rave reviews. "An impressive debut" Music Week. "The sheer music diversity he explores definitely makes him one of 2000s more intriguing artists" Touch. "Major has the lyric-writing talent to match his studio skills" Sunday Times. "this one, helmed by the very talented studio technician called Major, who creates a backing track unlike any other" NME. "Major's compelling voice and production makes perfect sense of his raggadelic tag" Muzik. "It is nice to hear something a little different" The Voice.
