About Me

Hey this is AJ talkin' to you. I've been in a lot of bands, some more involved than others, played quite a few shows and had a good dose of all the B.S. we all go through as musicians, but I got to say it feels real good to be here as one voice, free to do as I please. I record with everyone I know and hopefully you'll hear some of my friends music as well, I'll be there playing guitar or singing, sometimes it might be drums. I co-wrote a song that was featured prominently in a Sony picture it's very different from what I'm doing now. I could drop a couple of names of some more high profile people I worked with but who cares, after all it's just about people making music, anything more than that is just, well you know....

Back to the studio!

Hey I'm going back into the studio around Feb 10 to begin recording a new E.P. It will probably be just me and my acoustic. Hopefully you'll dig it!
