thumb|Majoe in 2014 '''Majyuran Ragunathan''' ({{langx|ta|மயூரன் ரகுநாதன்}}, born 21 April 1989), better known by his stage name '''Majoe''' is a German rapper of Sri Lankan Tamil descent. He is signed by the Farid Bang-owned label Banger Music Records since 2012.

==Career== Majoe was born in Duisburg, Germany, the son of Tamil immigrants. His family fled from the Sri Lankan Civil War to Germany. At the age of 16, Majoe began to rap with his companion the German rapper Jasko. Together they rapped as the duo Majoe & Jasko. The two boys released one extended play titled ''Übernahme EP''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hiphopholic.de/majoe-jasko-ubernahme-ep-banger-edition-tracklist/ |title=Majoe & Jasko – Übernahme EP (Banger Edition) (Tracklist) {{!}} hiphopholic.de Hip Hop Portal |website=hiphopholic.de |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330065354/http://hiphopholic.de/majoe-jasko-ubernahme-ep-banger-edition-tracklist/ |archive-date=2012-03-30}} </ref> The mixtape attracted so much attention that the German rapper Farid Bang took them under contract.
