SHORT BIOGRAPHY
AJ is a solo act. He uses a live looping-station which gives a similar effect to the sound of a full band. Currently, AJ is building and discovering his artistry, and cultivating a song catalog by working with Pro-Writers both in Nashville and Los Angeles. He is super excited about the new music he is co-writing, and cannot wait to share it with his fans! Be on the lookout in 2020 for some new singles, and a new EP project!
When he’s not performing, or writing, AJ enjoys watching Gilmore Girls, and Heartland. He also loves to cook and bake, experimenting with creating dairy free versions of his favorite Italian meals and cookies. He also loves listening to and studying the music on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Some of AJ’s Favorite Artists include Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, Bruno Mars, and Adam Levine. His biggest influence is Tori Kelly - who AJ has met twice.
AJ’s Goals include his desire to be a touring, performing artist, and developing his craft of songwriting, as well as building strong relationships with music publishers, increasing his pro-writing circle and fan base. Thank you for your support of his gifts and talents!
