For cultural and creative practitioners and organisations operating in southern Africa, access to funding remains a major challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a massive impact on government policy, spending and the economy in general, and has seen spending on culture being moved further down the list of priorities. Further, the cultural and creative industries repeatedly cite four main areas where investment is needed for growth, which are increased visibility, mobility including access to new markets, finance and support structures.

En 2008, avec le studio Tegrarecord, Majoos signe son premier titre "phénomène", qui connaît la participation des jeunes artistes Tibigo et Dx Armel et y gagne pas à pas en expérience.

Mais c'est sa reprise du morceau "Endena" de Papa Wemba, enregistrée en 2010, qui lui permet de se faire une renommée dans sa ville, Lubumbashi.

En 2011, il sort 6 titres dans un EP nommé "CQFD" avant de proposer à son public en décembre 2016, son premier album composé de 10 titres nommé "TAYARI 2.0".
