Journalist : What is your name and what city do you rep?
My name is Mayjah Payne from West LA, California.
Journalist : Tell us about your latest releases, what inspired you to create them?
I just released my project “In A Mayjah Way” and it just charted #25 on the Apple Music ITunes Charts in the USA and hit #1 on the Apple Music ITunes Charts in the UK! I’m feeling really appreciative right now. I was also featured on Sirr Jones “Entreprenegro” project that reached #3 on the Apple Music ITunes Charts. It’s a lot of good energy going right now!
Journalist : What is unique about you and your music?
I like to make soundtracks to life. I want my experiences to give me songs that people can relate to. I want you always to guess how I am going to come next because the style is so versatile, you know
Journalist : When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?
I realized it since my big brother Swoop was doing choreography with MC Hammer. After seeing what “#setlife”was like in my childhood, I wanted to eat craft service snacks all day in my adult life.
Journalist : What type of music do you listen to?
I mainly listen to Hip-Hop & RB. But hey, a good song is a good song no matter the genre.
Journalist : What inspires you to write music?
Life inspires me to write music. Culture also. Life and culture = Payne.
Journalist : What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?
When I don’t write music, I like to travel. I like exploring and finding some new shhh. Put me on!
Journalist : What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?
As Shorty T @Sthug84 says, “It’s not about who you know, it’s about who knows you.” A lot of this is perspective and you have to perceive yourself as greatness to achieve greatness.
Journalist : Where do we find you music / music projects?
