MAJOR. Reflects on a Decade of Love Songs and What Comes Next
With over half a billion streams, MAJOR.'s hit song 'Why I Love You' has become an iconic wedding anthem, but its success is just the beginning for this talented artist.A Long Road to Success
MAJOR. recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of his breakout song, and it's clear that his journey to stardom was far from overnight. 'A lot of people are like, you're an overnight success,' he said with a laugh. 'And I'm like, well, that was a long night.' The room erupted in laughter, but the point landed – MAJOR. had been grinding for years before his song broke through.
A Wedding Staple
The tour has already delivered a standout moment when none other than Stevie Wonder showed up at a recent Los Angeles stop. DL quipped about how Wonder knew he had arrived, but MAJOR. made the significance clear: 'Uncle Stevie was one of the first to say 'Why I Love You' will be the wedding love song for years to come,' he shared. 'If Stevie saw it, we knew we had something.'
A Personal Milestone
MAJOR. also reflected on a more personal milestone – the moment he played the song for DL at a private gathering years before it ever released. 'You were like, yo, that's a song,' he remembered. Hughley confirmed it: That preview happened more than 12 years ago.
A Legacy of Love
DL compared Why I Love You to Kenny Lattimore's classic For You, a song that has kept wedding bands employed for decades. MAJOR. appreciated the comparison, especially since Lattimore himself gave him a real talk about his earning power: 'He told me, bro, you can charge more. You got the wedding song,' MAJOR. laughed.
As MAJOR. looks to the future, it's clear that he's not resting on his laurels. With new music on the horizon and a decade of love songs under his belt, this talented artist is poised for even greater success in the years to come.
