From Escaping War to Building Community: Interview with DJ Majd

I’ve talked about Clubhouse before and how it’s such an amazing place to meet new people who you’d never get to meet in real life. My guest today, DJ Majd, is no exception and I know you’re going to love hearing this beautiful man’s story of hope and inspiration. Originating from Syria, Majd is a highly successful Montreal based DJ with chart-topping mix tapes reaching No.1 worldwide. He has such amazing energy and is driven by his passion to bring people together and make a difference in the world. In this episode, Majd shares his story of living in war-torn Syria and immigrating to Canada with his father when he was just 16 years old. He talks about making the most of every opportunity, the power of gratitude and how moving to Montreal opened up doors for a creative like him to not only pursue his passion of music but also make his mark in the corporate world. Majd is such a beautiful soul and his humility is evident in everything he does. We talk about our common experiences growing up in tragedy, how every situation is an opportunity and how we can all combine our experiences to learn from each other and grow together. We talk about the power of music to transport someone into another world and how Majd uses his gift to bring people together and serve others. Seeing a need throughout Covid, Majd started the Montreal Connective Community and he shares how this is an opportunity to connect people together to build each other up and forge meaningful relationships.  Being an influential person in his community, we talk about leadership, the importance of being real and creating space for others to shine. You’ll take so much from today’s episode as you hear Majd’s story and learn about who he is.
