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). In August 2015, Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee announced that Majura would replace guitarist Terry Balsamo in the band.[3] In November 2015, Equilibrium announced that Majura had parted ways with the band to join Evanescence.[4] In May 2022, Evanescence parted ways with Majura.[5]

In 2023, Majura became a member of the metal combo How We End, featuring musicians from Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and Spain. The group is composed of vocalists Diva Satanica (ex-NERVOSA) and Jake E (CYHRA, ex-AMARANTHE), while Majura's fellow guitarist in the group is Tom Naumann (PRIMAL FEAR), while Mitch Kunz (bass/synths) and Adde Larsson (drums) provide the "heavy groove."
