Major then moved to Sydney Australia bringing a jazz and soul sound with an international flair. Major's earthy vocal tones, timeless songs and artful storytelling make every performance emotional. Whether you're looking to laugh, cry, or simply get lost in a moment, her music offers a profound sense of connection and reflection. " One moment, you're immersed in the vibrant jazz scene of Paris' "Aux Trois Mailletz," and the next, you're transported to the heart of Zambia's history, feeling the echoes of her father's childhood under colonial rule and his activism for democracy. This seamless blending of personal narratives and historical events creates a truly immersive and thought-provoking listening experience."
