To his friends, Major is simply a charismatic fun-loving guy. Recognized and well respected in the South Beach community (thanks in part to his hectic schedule out and about supporting as many locals parties as he can), Major is also heralded as an accomplished DJ as well.Originally from the UK, Major successfully broke into the Tampa scene as a Trance DJ thanks to DJ Suzy Solar whom he met at the Union Jack show during the summer of ’99. Impressed with his innate ability, Suzy Solar invited Major to play at the Tampa Tobacco Club… a residency that lasted two glorious years!Major’s uplifting yet hard hitting vintage UK sound, helped garner him recognition among the Bay area locals. For instance in 1999, Major co-hosted a radio show on WTAN 1340 alongside DJ Luis from NYC. For seven hours, seven nights a week, Major became a household name amongst the underground dance music community in Tampa.Major soon earned himself various residencies in the Tampa Bay area at such clubs as: Liquid Blue, Pleasure Dome, LivingRoom and Marz.Delving into the business side of the music industry, Major soon began to host and promote his own nights at such intimate Tampa venues as B.O.W., Club Plush, The Mix at Velvet (Ybor City) and The Hyde Away.The Tampa Bay area was only the beginning for this bourgeoning talent. Invited to play his tunes on the globally recognized Trance Domain (http://www.trancedomain.com), in early/mid 2002, Major soon had garnered a worldwide audience.Musically, Major’s style has progressed over the years. Starting out with more UK hard house and Trance, he soon found his niche with a more progressive and deeper sound. Described by many as a “deep atmospheric progressive sound laced with a fusion of forward thinking music fuelled with emotion and intensity,†Major continues to incorporate new sounds into his DJ sets in tune with what is “hot†in the underground dance music scene.Of course, every DJ has his/her fair share of influences…Major is no exception. From Tony de Vit, Lisa Lashes, Sasha and Digweed, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman and Paul Oakenfold, Major’s influences are as diverse as his musical stylings over the years. In face, Major has had the distinction of opening for Paul Oakenfold himself a few years back!Since making the move down South to Miami, Major has played at such venues as: Joia, Nerve, Club NV, Blue, State, Cafeteria and Amika. One of his most acclaimed gigs was at the Creek Hotel poolside during the summer/autumn of 2004(http://www.cooljunkie.com/bars/the_creek_hotel_sunday_p
arty_location_miami_5243.html). It was here where Major first started to achieve recognition for his work and broke into the Miami scene!During the past two years during Winter Music Conference, he has also had the honor of playing alongside hundreds of the world’s top DJ’s at the world renowned Ultra Music Festival.With a plethora of gigs already in the works for 2006, be on the lookout for Major at a club near you!
