Quiana Major
Miami
Musician and Vocalist I grew up in a town in Miami Florida called gloudls . From a young age I always loved how music made other people feel and me feel things physically and emotionally. My mother loves to tell the story about when she asked meas a child what i wanted to be and how I picked up my plastic blue guitar and started windmiling a solo on my knees and said I wanted to be a rock star. In florida i grew up listining to just about everything that came to the port of miami listining on the streets i could find rap,reggeton,jpop,hiphop,regage, cumbia pop, gogo,music and at home my fanily exposed me to soul,funk,r&b,disco,jazz, classical,folk and i founld my way to ,altrock,poprock,edm,electonic mucsic prodution,film scoring,metal . My music captures emotions of youthful mistakes,Purpose, companionship validation, and escape .Like a cross between brian eno and eryka badu.
Growing up in poverty and in a crime stricken neighborhood I struggled with depression , anger ,and drug abuse. I had a loving and supporting family but having an illness can isolate you from connections around you. Never really fitting in to places or knowing my identity I would walk through life alone by myself with music as my only means of expression and connection to something. my music is a means of giving people a chance feel what it means to not be alone to get through an experience in life with my music as a guiding hand,faithful friend,passionate lover,and a meaningful escape from time. Letting people know its OK to feel these feelings of sadness and anger and that its also OK to live life and have fun and escape sometimes.
