An individual who upon being compared to legends such as Curtis Mayfield and Ronald Isley does not back down, but stands up to the praiseladies and gentleman let me introduce you to Majic Massey. Born and raised in Chicago, Majic was immersed in music from birth and was practically humming by age 1, which may seem amazing and unbelievable, until you discover that he was winning talent shows and singing in his local Church from the tender age of 2. Needless to say this 23 year old had music in his soul before he could even utter a complete word and that inborn desire is what made him who he is today, a storyteller who can weave a tale that touches everyone. Growing up he was able to blend into all that is Chicago and intertwine all that he witnessed firsthand into lyrics of life. His music is the story of the streets without any sugarcoating or artificial happy endings, his music is as real as he is and this is what keeps him grounded and what eventually got him signed by Plugged Entertainment, Inc. Unfortunately how he finally reached that chapter in his life brings about a dark time in Majics life and the heartbreaking loss of his close friend, Kato. Kato owned a local record label out of Chicago called Dinero Records and he took Majic under his wing. With Kato in his corner Majic spent most of his free time at the label soaking in everything that happened at the recording studio. All these experiences in and out of the studio developed and strengthened a solid friendship that helped Majic keep his dream alive until that terrible day that Kato was gunned down. That day he felt all his dreams died along with his close friend and Majic basically shut down. Tragedy changes people down to their soul. The difference in everyone is how it affects them and how they handle such life changing situations. Majic was changed and he did withdraw but with the help and support from friends and especially Katos widow, Valerie, he along with Valerie both gained inspiration. This in turn led to Majic returning full force to writing again and Valerie creating Plugged Entertainment, Inc. Eventually this collaboration led to them working together and soon Majic was ready for the next step of his career. Along with backing from Gaby Acevedo, president of SRC, they with several top producers including Kanye West, Swiss Beatz, David Banner, Scott Storch, Akon, and Ice Drake created an arsenal of music that quickly got interest from several labels including Universal. After a flurry of meetings that included Doug Morris, Mel Lewinter, Sylvia Rhone and Steve Rifkind, Universal quickly won them over and signed Majic as a priority artist on their label; Majics dreams are finally set to take off. Majic is a talented songwriter and how he interprets his experiences will allow him to shine through and bond with everyone who listens to his music. His lyrics will let him connect with people from all walks of life from the church to the streets and they will remember when they were first introduced to the gifted storyteller Majic Massey.
