Majera

Majera, (Engin Ogutveren), born October 13, 1988, in Melbourne, Australia, has always been passionate about music. By the age of eight he was playing the guitar, soon after he added the keyboard, and as music continued to be a dominant interest in his life, he realized there would be no turning back. DJ-ing and music production had to follow. Some of Majera’s earliest influences include J & R Project, Da Hool and Ayla, all of which left a deep impression and turned him toward his preferred choice: dance music. Other influences include such trance-dance giants as Solarstone, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Cosmic Gate, Airwave (Lolo), Mike (Push), Nu Nrg, Markus Schulz and Ozgur Can. Majera’s signature trademark has become melodies which are consistently haunting, deep and beautiful, as well as tracks which are complex mixtures of natural rhythms and sounds. Featured on Audiojelly, Beatport, Juno and other music sites, Majera’s releases have been played in sets by such notable trance artists as Aly and Fila, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Andy Moor, Nic Chagall, Marcus Schossow, MIKE, Manuel le Saux and Orkidea. Starting out in the Australian Trance and Progressive scene, Majera’s music has become known world-wide.
