Growing up in Jamaica, Queens AJ was exposed to the East Coast greats and was surrounded by gospel music that his family would sing. After years of jokingly freestyling with his father and his friends AJ stepped into his passion during his highschool years. As a vocal major he began to experience vocal issues that made him subconscious because he didn’t see himself suitable for what was taught( opera, musical theater, jazz and classical music) it was during this time AJ decided he would tell stories through his usage of lyricism, painting his perspective. Living in NYC there is a large dichotomy of the have and have nots, and AJ found himself in between the line on most situations. Still pursuing his passion for music he went to college in DC which is where he began to gain the confidence and traction to continue on this journey. Approaching every track from an acute understanding that with every song he wants to make you feel something. Feel emotions. Delivering this through witty metaphors, detailed narration, and memorable melodies AJ knows he has a message that the People need to hear.
