It's M.a.j.o.r D-Star from Detroit MI, West side to be exact. The home of Motown.. soul music... and every since I first heard a Biggie song as a kid, music has touched my soul. But it was the Hip-Hop culture that attracted me most to the genre but I love it all! I graduated high school, did a few years in college and realized that wasn't the route for me. It was and has always been music. I come from a two parent household and am of African American decent. I love and stand for my people.
Love Music: Your favorite single?
That's a hard one lol there's so many to choose from over the years but my favorite single right now would have to be my new single, "Whole Nother Level" produced by CashMoneyAp. It's a whole new vibe. Something new and refreshing for the world.
Love Music: We been hearing a lot about you, so we notice your starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?
It feels great. It's a blessing to be able to make an impact on people. That's my purpose. I want to leave a legacy behind.
Love Music: Can you please let us know more about your upcoming new album?
My new album "Major Payne" just dropped at the top of the year. There are 26 songs on the project being that I just turned 26 years old with only featuring my artists. I want to give them a chance to shine just as much as me and when it's your time, it's your time. A star is meant to shine bright so with my solo projects I wanted to give the people as much of me as possible. I want to continue to give them a chance to get to know me more and more by not just rapping about what's going on in my life but also letting them know what it takes to get it. You gotta put grind behind prayer.
Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far?
So far I think it would have to be my music reaching over 77 countries this year. Getting my music all over the world and being able to touch all types of people has always been my goal as an artist. That's what I stand for, the people.
Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?
Wealth. I want to be able to create a future for not just for me but for my family and kids. And even though I don't have any kids yet and I live in the moment, I plan for the future. That's just the way my mind is set up. It's a mindset and with mine I see it like the best of both worlds.
Love Music: What motivates you to do your best work?
My family, my city, haters, vacations... it's all motivation. Waking up every day should be your motivation to go get it. You gotta think of everyday as another chance and once you do get it, you gotta have something to keep you going. So I use it all as fuel because if you only have a few motivations and they run out then what? Your’e going to slow down and it's all about consistency.
Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?
I always looked at music and the music business as a career because it's what I always wanted to do. I always took it seriously without a doubt.
Love Music: Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?
I love to vacate and just relax in my free time. Just doing the typical regular things that people do excite me in my free time because each and every year I get less and less time to do those type of things. The more success you have, the less time you have for other things. That's why it’s important to love what you do.
Love Music: How can people find you and follow you online?
