Since the last time Major Star sat down for his first interview on Bush Radio, we dove into who he is as an artist and entrepreneur. What we discovered was that Major Star is on determined individual who has no chance of slowing down anytime soon. Growing up in Malawi starting as a DJ for a short time, hosting events for university students he discovered that his passion was definitely to be an artist and make noise within the music industry. He moved to Cape Town to focus on networking and focus more on his dream to become an icon in the Afro Beat scene.

 

To build the foundation and gain the funds for his music career he started his own business right here in the mother city called Dreadlock City located in Claremont. His hair salon is definitely gaining a lot of, traffic and recognition with many new and usual customers come and go. You will be surprised to know that Dreadlock City is where all the well-known and local DJ’s go to get their dreadlocks neatened and cleaned and if you are starting your dreadlock journey, Dreadlock City is definitely the place to be.

 

Post his last visit to Bush Radio he released 3 songs, M’bebe, High Level featuring Gento Bareto and Number Yako. Since the release of his debut song and music video; Corona Virus, putting hours in the studio he has been releasing tracks back-to-back making noise in the underground Afro Beat scene. During the interview with Thomas Cedrick, Major Star mentioned that he is planning to add a variety of genres to his sound such as House and Amapiano.

 

There is still more to come from the young Malawian artist as he sets to make his mark in the music industry and become an inspiration to many. With hard work and dedication, he shows that anything is possible if you set your mind to it and never settle for your goal to be a dream.
