Speaking on the announcement an excited Majeeed tells apple music that his music is an extension of his person. “My music is an expression of my reality and experiences of many topics that are not discussed enough. Being Up Next on Apple Music is a dream come through and has given me the zeal and opportunity to strive even further because now I know a lot of people are listening and connecting to my story,” he shares.
Born and raised in Nigeria where he has to contend with the daily realities of economic and social difficulties, Majeeed’s sound is rooted in Afrobeats and speaks frankly about the realities of day-to-day life, intended to motivate, inspire and heal.
A sensational songwriter, Majeeed's talent has seen him get accolades from Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay, and Zuchu who are some of the artists he has worked with.
