Majur

Majur dos Santos Conceição (born 21 October 1995), known mononymously as Majur, is a Brazilian R&B and MPB singer-songwriter. She was described by Vogue Brasil as the "new voice of Bahia music".

Biography Majur was born Marilton Conceição Júnior on 21 October 1995 in the Uruguai neighborhood of Salvador, Bahia. Her father left the family when she was two or three years old; to survive, her mother collected garbage and recyclables in the streets until Majur was six. She also participated in CPM Dendezeiros's choir as a soloist. In 2008 she was a finalist at the Annual Student Song Festival, promoted by the Ministry of Education. In 2018, while bringing a loaned guitar to Liniker, she was invited by surprise to participate in an on-air duet of Liniker's song "Tua". She released her first solo single, 20ever, in August of the same year. In November 2019, she released a music video for Naúfrago, the second track of her debut EP. In 2020 she released another single, Andarilho, accompanied by a video clip that she recorded herself during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In May 2021 her first studio LP was released, the Afropop album (Yoruba for "eyes of love"). It features collaborations with Liniker and Luedji Luna. In May 2023 she released her second studio album, ARRISCA, featuring nine tracks with an Afropop sound. Its production was done by Max Viana and includes collaborations with Xamã, Ivete Sangalo and Olodum. Majur released the 16-track Yoruba album Gira Mundo in May 2025, with each song dedicated to an orisha.

Personal life Majur has been described in media as a Black trans woman. "I transition very well between the masculine and feminine universes. I recognize both in myself and I need both", she explained in an interview with Extra. Majur legally changed her name in January 2020. In September 2022, the singer married choreographer Josué Amazonas. Majur practices Candomblé, though she was Catholic until the age of 14.
