Steve Major music transcends boundaries, blending his signature pop-rock theatricality with soul-stirring storytelling. But that wasn’t his first foray into impactful music. Back in 2015, his track “Mirror Mirror” from the album “Undoing” cemented his reputation as a dynamic performer and songwriter. Now, with a career spanning decades and continents, Steve is setting the stage for yet another career-defining moment.
In early 2025, Steve is set to release a new track in collaboration with Milán Valkusz, the charismatic mentor and judge on The X Factor Hungary. Based on the buzz surrounding this partnership, it seems this track could have strong potential on the European charts.
Steve Major’s story is one for the books. Born in Canada and raised in Hungarian roots, his musical journey began with a love of theatre and performance. From singing “Do Re Mi” as a toddler to professional theatre gigs by the age of 11, Steve’s passion for music and performing was apparent early on. Over the years, he’s graced stages on land and sea, performed leading roles in iconic musicals like Rent and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and even hosted and produced Canada’s hit music competition show, LOCAL LIVE CANADA™. His career has been marked by versatility—from international album releases to headlining production shows aboard luxury cruise ships.
His recent journey on The X Factor Hungary marked a significant moment in his career. When Steve dazzled the mentors with his rendition of Queen’s “The Show Must Go On,” he not only showcased his extraordinary vocal range but also reignited his connection to his Hungarian heritage. Winning over the panel with his authenticity and talent, Steve advanced through the competition and eventually became a standout contestant in Milán Valkusz’s team.
Steve’s entry into The X Factor Hungary wasn’t just about chasing the spotlight—it was about reconnecting with his roots. As a dual citizen of Canada and Hungary, he saw the opportunity to immerse himself in the Hungarian music scene as both a challenge and a homecoming. Steve’s powerful performances in the competition, including a show-stopping rendition of Aerosmith’s “Dream On,” quickly established him as a fan favorite.
It was during this journey that Steve formed a close bond with Milán Valkusz, a mentor on the show and one-half of Hungary’s chart-topping pop duo VALMAR. Milán, known for his keen ear and passion for elevating unique talents, saw something special in Steve. Despite cultural nuances, their shared love of music bridged the gap, and they began working together on what would become an exciting new project.
“Milán has an incredible knack for blending modern pop with emotional depth,” Steve shared in a recent interview. “Working with him has been an inspiring experience. He brings a fresh perspective to my music, and I’m thrilled to bring this collaboration to life.”
The upcoming track, set for release in early 2025, marks a fusion of Steve’s theatrical pop-rock roots and Milán’s modern pop sensibilities. Recorded in Budapest, the song draws on both artists’ strengths—Steve’s emotive vocal delivery and Milán’s ability to create infectious, heartfelt melodies. “Milan’s attention to detail is unmatched,” Steve says. “He’s not just a mentor—a collaborator who pushes me to bring my best to every note and lyric.”
This collaboration also represents a milestone for Steve as he continues establishing a presence in the European music scene. With Milán’s star power in Hungary and VALMAR’s massive fan base, the new track is poised to introduce Steve’s music to an even wider audience. “I’ve always believed in the power of connection,” Steve reflects. “Music has a way of bringing people together, and this project with Milán is proof of that. I’m excited to see where this track takes us.”
For fans, the anticipation is palpable. Steve’s ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with electrifying performances has always been his hallmark, and this collaboration aims to deliver on both fronts. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Steve’s theatrical rock ballads or a newcomer drawn in by his The X Factor journey, this is one release you won’t want to miss.
