Hi, I’m David Major - keyboard player, songwriter and music producer. My career in the music industry has spanned decades, seeing me both up on stage and in the studio and taking me all over the world.
Classically Trained Pianist
I figured out early on that I had a natural knack for music. By the age of 13, I was already a classically trained pianist with grade 8 under my belt. When I finished school, I enrolled in the Leeds College of Music to really refine my understanding of music theory and get started on building a career in the industry.
Playing Stadiums & Arenas
As a keys player and singer, I’ve performed to sold-out audiences all over the world with Mickey Finn’s T-Rex, Paperlace (Phil Wright’s Original 70s Paperlace) 'The Original Jukebox Heroes" and Les Mckeowns's Ex touring band “ The Legendaries”. Although I’m classically trained, I can put my hand to almost anything and have worked as a session musician on a range of great projects.
Writing & Producing For 15 Years
Playing in bands helped me develop an ear for writing and production. I started working with a few writing teams penning tracks for Eurovision and Pop Idol artists and appearing on radio and TV. Since then, I’ve helped artists across a wide range of genres write tracks and release entire albums.

So… What’s Next?
After so many years of writing for other artists, I’ve recently ventured into performing my own material. Check out my music on the streaming services.
My Audacious goal is to become the oldest newcomer at the Brits!
