Meet MAJOZI, an artist hailing from the coastal city of Durban, South Africa,
who wears his heart on his sleeve and his passions boldly, quite literally inked
on his skin. His tattoos serve as enduring symbols of his unwavering faith and
deep love for his mother. These profound influences have left an indelible
mark on his life and have become the source of inspiration for the music he
creates.
In 2013, he burst into the music scene with his captivating debut EP,
‘Marvelous Light’, capturing the attention of audiences across the country.
The following year, he signed a deal with Universal Music South Africa,
solidifying his artistic journey. With the release of his first full-length album,
‘Fire’, he skyrocketed to the iTunes Top 3, garnering significant recognition
within the music industry. This achievement led to a prestigious nomination for
Best Adult Contemporary Album at the esteemed South African Music
Awards (SAMA) in 2017.
October 2018 marked a significant milestone in MAJOZI's career as he
unveiled his self-titled album, which swiftly garnered widespread acclaim and
acknowledgment. The album boasted two chart-topping singles, ‘Waiting’,
which he performed as a guest judge on the second season of The Voice,
and ‘Somebody’. Notably, the album featured a remarkable collaboration with
the illustrious three-times Grammy-winning ensemble, The Soweto Gospel
Choir.
Continuing his artistic journey, MAJOZI embarked on exciting ventures in
