Majik are a band of two talented twenty-somethings who don’t mix ordinarily. Don’t be fooled by their identikit beards. They lead separate lives and come from very different backgrounds. There’s Jamie: the scientist from Ayrshire – the college-trained music wizard of Logic, and the guitar. And then there’s Marcus: the artist from Marlow – the sensitive, soul-searching wordsmith turned vocalist, whose teen years of highs and lows beyond his control left him in need of a cure.
gifted musicianship willingly remains at the back of the stage, the science behind the art. There’s a real sense that his experimental approach to layering sounds will transport the music and us to fantastic places in the future. Meanwhile, Marcus is learning to woo the crowds up at the front, and share the live moment with real intimacy. A talent for after class rapping at school has since matured into a velvet lead vocal, with the reassuring tone you’d expect to hear from a yogi DJ on a late-night radio station. Add a healthy measure of some ridiculously good looks, Majik – both on stage, and in the studio – are mesmeric. The extraordinary thing is that their journey’s just beginning.
