Life & Work with Menji of Los Angeles

Today we’d like to introduce you to Menji.

Menji, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I began singing around three years ago while I was in school, when I decided to try something new and learn the guitar. During that time, my group, who I was preparing a final performance with, they caught me singing and encouraged me to perform. I had never performed before and was terrified, but I pushed myself to step outside my comfort zone.

Despite the fear, I loved the experience. I kept performing and started doing open mics, which helped me grow more confident and ultimately led me to pursue music seriously. Since then, I’ve released several songs and have many exciting new tracks on the way. I’m currently a member of GRAMMY U and am actively working on new music, driven by big aspirations for the future.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There have been struggles along the way. I had never made music before, so it was challenging at first, but I have been able to study the craft and connect with others through it. While I has always loved music, I never imagined I would be doing this, it was something he never saw coming.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I make music, I sing and mainly focus on songwriting. I’m known for marketing my music, being creative, and building strong ideas around my work. I’ve always loved music, but I’ve loved making it even more; it’s an exciting challenge that pushes me to grow.

I’m proud to have one of my songs reach a solid number of streams, and I believe my consistency, dedication to my craft, and marketing skills truly set me apart. I’m beyond excited to be working on my very first music video, coming later this year. Stay tuned for my new unreleased song, “Episode.”

What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
I’ve learned that a huge part of making music is mental. You have to believe you can do it, once you do, you will. It’s not easy, especially while juggling school, work, and bills, but it is possible to make it work.
