Songwriter

Majid Al Maskati

Bahrain → Toronto, Ontario

Majid Al Maskati is the Bahrain-born vocalist of Majid Jordan, the OVO Sound R&B duo signed to the label in 2013. He is credited as a co-writer on "Hold On, We're Going Home" (2013) alongside his Majid Jordan partner Jordan Ullman, Nineteen85, and Drake — the breakthrough Nothing Was the Same single that pushed Drake's catalog firmly into adult-contemporary R&B territory. The credit on "Hold On" predates Majid Jordan's own debut releases and is the song that effectively introduced both Majid and Jordan Ullman to the public as OVO writers. Beyond that single his Drake-adjacent footprint sits inside the Majid Jordan project itself — the duo's three studio albums (Majid Jordan, The Space Between, Wildest Dreams) live entirely inside the OVO Sound house style, with 40 and Drake credited on multiple tracks. His writing tends toward warm synth pads, slow-tempo programmed drums, and falsetto toplines that match the broader Toronto R&B aesthetic. Within an encyclopedia of Drake writers he and Jordan Ullman should be read together — Majid Jordan is one writing credit functionally — and the partnership has been a quiet anchor of the OVO Sound R&B catalog for more than a decade.
