Came Here For



Born and bred in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Callum MacDonald – stage name Cajama – developed an addiction for the aggressive sound of hardstyle and hardcore from a very early age. With no musical education to speak of, DJing at house parties enabled him an early form of escapism and expression. Under the pseudonym Cajama, MacDonald put the feelers out with singles All I Want and Spaceman the following year. The budding producer first started to pick up major traction with Wish You Were, a bootleg of Philip George’s Wish You Were Mine. Now close to 900k streams on YouTube and offering a more musical bassline sound - one that MacDonald was undoubtedly key to establishing, the track took the 2019 bass music festival scene by storm. 2020 saw a further leap in notoriety with a succession of singles including Dangerous, What I Need, Only and All Night, alongside more exploratory collaborations such as Don’t Let Me Down featuring Prima on vocals and Pulse with drum and bass artist Tsuki. Possessing a larger than life stage presence, live shows swiftly followed at Ministry Sound, the iconic Printworks and Manchester’s Warehouse Project. While the events of the past year have stalled MacDonald’s career just as it was in full flow, 2021 promises to see him quickly regain lost ground. His most recent milestone was the release of his debut music video for the upcoming Cajama single Take A Ride. Read more on Last.fm.
