About Major Zulu

Major Zulu professional portrait

Major Zulu is a soul singer-songwriter originally from Zambia, currently residing in Sydney, Australia. Her musical journey began in the gospel church in Zambia. She later moved to the UK, where she gained recognition for her distinctive and powerful vocals.

A pivotal moment in her career was collaborating with the Grammy-award winning band Basement Jaxx as the lead vocalist on their track "Everybody," which helped establish her presence in the music industry.

Paris, France, played a significant role in Major Zulu's artistic development. Immersing herself in the city's rich culture, she crafted a unique sound that fuses jazz, soul, and R&B.

Her music features earthy vocal tones, timeless melodies, and impactful storytelling. Major's performances transcend typical concerts, offering emotional experiences that deeply connect with audiences.

Her lyrics often draw inspiration from personal experiences, historical events, and social issues. She seamlessly blends narratives of her father's activism for democracy in Zambia with the vibrant jazz scene of Paris and her new life here in Australia.

Major Zulu has headlined esteemed events such as the Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival, Jazz in the Vineyards, and Art Gallery NSW. She has shared the stage with renowned artists like Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, James Morrison, Paolo Nutini, and Earth, Wind & Fire.
