Anthony Russell , Piano Composer/Music Producer Born January 13, 1988 At the age of 17, Anthony started to take his music very serious, and bought his first official workstation keyboard. Since then, music has been a very big part of his life. Anthony set up a YouTube page, and wanted to create a stage name for himself, so he came up with the name “A-Major.” Anthony chose this name because his name is “Anthony”, and he wanted to have a name that was related to playing the piano, and make sense to his actual name. Now, Anthony goes by the name: Anthony “A-Major” Russell. “I remember when I posted my first video on YouTube in January, 2009. I never could have imagined my channel becoming as popular as it is today. It is a blessing to see others posting video responses, and singing to my music. The amount of support and love from all of my fans is greatly appreciated. I never could have done this without you! Musical influences: Anthony grew up listening to a lot of Michael Jackson music as a child, that’s what made him start dancing, singing, and wanting to compose music. Piano composers: Yiruma, Ryuchi sakamoto Music producers: Bryan Michael cox, Scott Storch, Timbaland etc.
