While studying a Masters in Music and BCom in Financial Sciences con-currently in 2016, Byron Major’s original track ‘Delicious’ charted for 10-weeks on college Radio in South Africa.

Putting Singer/Songwriter Byron Major’s music into a box is not going to work. While his style is certainly influenced by his early classical music training, Byron takes on elements from Motown to 21st century electronica and even traditional fused South African sounds.

His musical influences derive from artists such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Prince but his philosophy of musical variety is one that rejects categorizations.

Byrons says “My dream is for all of music to live under one umbrella, in one home. To me, genres in music is like racism in society – not applicable”, he explains. He likes to describe his own sound as ‘Soultronic’.
