Majid Khaliq

Described as having “a unique blend of improvisation, groove, and technical sophistication” by legendary musician Wynton Marsalis, Ma*JiD is cut from a different cloth.

A violinist, composer, and a bandleader, Ma*JiD graduated from the Juilliard School with a B.M. and an M.M. in Jazz Performance from the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College.

His music expertise knows no bounds, lending his talents to various artists including Wynton Marsalis, Mr. Cheeks (from hip hop group The Lost Boyz), Antonio Hart (jazz saxophonist), Craig G (from hip hop collective The Juice Crew), John Blake Jr. (jazz violinist), Dyme-a-Duzin (from band Phony Ppl), Itzhak Perlman (classical musician/ world known violinist), Keith David (actor/singer/voice actor), Isaac Stern (Grammy award violinist), and Regina Carter (jazz violinist).

Ma*JiD's music is an eclectic blend of styles and influences, which pull from European classical, jazz, and hip-hop.
