Biography

A Detroit native, SEMAJE first caught the public's attention when he dropped his first recording, “Winner,” in 2017. Then, he was the featured vocalist on super-producer Fred Jerkins' (Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Jennifer Lopez) track, “Reason to Praise,” that peaked at No. 29 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart in 2020 and introduced him to a national audience. “I’m an old head,” SEMAJE laughs in talking of his “Lovely Day” release. “I'd listen to Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire, Bill Withers. I believe we need some music that we can start the day with, and I wanted to put out an inspirational song to give us that morning push.” His mellow treatment of “Lovely Day” serves as a showcase for his smooth falsetto and the way he handles Withers’ elongated closing note is akin to a flock of doves being released into the sky. He soars and sways into the heavens just like this track does. Next up is his urban inspirational track, "You." SEMAJE is a star on the rise!
