Majura was born in Stuttgart, West Germany, and started in music at the age of six. Her father is Thai and was one of the founding members of the Reutlingen-based German NDW band KIZ as bassist, her mother is German. Majura has played professionally since 2000. She featured on Rage's "Lord of the Flies" track and toured with the band from 2006 to 2009 on several international tours.
Majura was the founder of AC/DC cover band Black Thunder Ladies (lead guitarist and backings). She had since played in Knorkator (guitarist, 2012–2014), Equilibrium (bassist, 2014) and Evanescence (guitarist, 2015–2022).
