Initially, Majah seemed destined for a career in music. During junior high school, he began his journey as a DJ. A friend from the DJ scene affectionately referred to him as “Majah,” recognizing his potential for worldwide acclaim. He started selling cassette tapes filled with Caribbean sounds and Hip-Hop to his peers in school halls. Expanding his repertoire, Majah produced singles for notable Jamaican and Caribbean artists like Gyptian and Tarrus Riley. However, the reality of becoming a father at the age of 19 compelled him to temporarily set aside his aspirations of entertaining large audiences.
