MAJOR: Grammy-Nom Soul Legend Talks Life, Love, Hard Times & Hope Dealing

LINDSEY GRANGER & KOLYN BOYD Season 1 Episode 1

Join Lindsey and Kolyn as they connect with Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and American Soul storyteller MAJOR.—a man whose voice the world recognizes the moment they hear it. In this expansive and emotional conversation, MAJOR. opens up about life, love, faith, and finding light on the other side of hard times.

Born in Denton and raised in Houston, Texas, he reflects on the city that shaped his spirit and sound, the blended-family household of ten siblings that taught him resilience, and the early musical spark that set him on his path. He breaks down how Southern culture continues to influence the world, revisits his rise from early YouTube buzz to global success, and shares the unlikely story of how “Why I Love You” became a platinum-selling, worldwide anthem for weddings, healing, and timeless love, amassing more than half a billion streams.

Throughout the episode, MAJOR. gets vulnerable about holding on to hope through personal challenges, the spiritual grounding that guides him forward, and the personal conversation he had with Chadwick Boseman before he tragically passed away, all which have helped shape his artistry. He also talks about why he chose independence across four solo projects and what that freedom has unlocked for him creatively.

Honest, uplifting, and full of soul—this conversation is MAJOR. in every way. Let’s get into it.
