Major Myjah, the Grammy Award-winning songwriter and singer, and son of renowned reggae and dancehall artist Bounty Killer, has recently signed with Jay Z’s Roc Nation. Despite growing up aware of his father’s fame, Myjah was not deeply familiar with his catalog and remained unfazed by his notoriety.
Myjah is committed to working hard, recognizing that signing with Roc Nation is just the beginning. He aims to prove his worth through dedication and talent. Emphasizing his readiness to embrace the challenge, Myjah states, “Now it’s really about listening to the content and taking it into my own. I still haven’t really fully dived into it.”

His mother, who also worked in the music industry managing and booking acts throughout the Caribbean, played a significant role in shaping his understanding of the entertainment business.
As a versatile artist, Major Myjah describes himself as a chameleon, integrating a diverse musical palette that spans pop, rock, hip hop, R&B, and island rhythms. At 17, the Miami-raised and now Los Angeles-based performer focuses more on the creative process rather than aiming solely for hit records.
Myjah’s single “Cry,” a powerful ballad, showcases his heartfelt lyricism with emotional wails and harmonies over sparse, booming drums, reflecting the pain experienced by a scorned love interest. This track highlights his Jamaican heritage and his commitment to genuine musical expression.
