Today we’d like to introduce you to Mikayla Major

Hi Mikayla , thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.

Of coarse! Thank you so much for having me. My name is Mikayla Major. I am a new country worship artist located here in Clovis, California. I am simply just a country hearted girl who truly loves Jesus. My passion for music started out as a little girl. My mom would always tell me stories of how I would hum random melodies while getting dressed for school, playing with baby dolls, and etc. Got my first solo singing “This Little Light of Mine” in a Pentecostal church children’s choir at like the age of 8. That very moment spark the dream in me. I gained the love for worship and how it impacted God’s people. Later on in life I begun just leading worship in church, doing covers, singing back up for other artist, and being mentored to write music not just for me but others. Through that, God has been so amazing to me with my growth and spiritual relationship. I was able to release my first single called California Girl. My step out in faith journey allowed me the opportunity of being signed as an independent artist at OceanFive Christian Label. I got the privilege of releasing my newest hit single called God, Love, and Country through them. Ever since then I have been taking off, learning, and working towards being a light to many.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?

I can say that as rewarding as it is, it has not been the easiest road. Challenges are a part of life in general sadly. When first starting out as an artist, I was naive. I didn’t know how to navigate the industry and would put myself in many negative situations. I formed unhealthy friendships, put trust in “professionals” regarding finances, and walked through doors that weren’t my lane. I compromised my peace to please others and what they thought was right for me. So, I had to learn how to say no, know my worth, reframe from being taken advantage of, do research, be okay with not taking everyone with me, navigate some serious choices, and wear tough skin.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?

As an OceanFive Christian artist through the label, I get to make wonderful music giving hope to all of God’s people. I wear many hats but as far as profession, I’m known for my worship leading, original music, writing skills and warm personality.

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?

Everyone’s way to success is different but for me it has been just staying true to myself alongside trusting God first. Being confident, having integrity, and consistency is so important for character. Also, being okay with falling/failing. You getting back up, dusting yourself off, learning, and getting back to work is the difference between becoming successful.
