Biography

At 16, Majors began performing in various underground clubs in New York. In the mid 80s, the native New Yorker focused his attention on the Left Coast, and relocated to Los Angeles. He then formed Pretty Boy Floyd.

Pretty Boy Floyd signed to MCA records and released their debut album Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz in late 1989. The album became the cornerstone of the band's fame, and went on to sell over half a million copies worldwide.

As the musical climate quickly shifted over to grunge, Pretty Boy Floyd and their glamorous counterparts quickly faded into the woodwork while the next series of trends took hold.

In the early 90s Majors worked for Sony records as an A&R man, producing some of their biggest jazz and pop artists including Keiko Matsui, Paul Taylor, Soul Ballet, Dave Koz, Royal Crown Revue, Young Dubliners, Chronic Future and Sprung Monkey.

A few years later he opened up a string of businesses, including Highway to Hell Studios, a state-of-the-art recording facility, and Artists Worldwide booking agency, which currently represents over 60 acts.

Majors spent the first decade of the new millennium writing for several TV shows, commercials and movie soundtracks like Shocker, Switch, Agent Cody Banks, Karate Kid, The Hills, Pacific Heights, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Kawasaki and Suzuki to name just a few.

In 2007, he released his first solo album, Sex Drugs n Rock n Roll. In , 2014 he released the thrill kills CD.
