AJ Farley has always wanted to world to hear what he had to say. That time came, but not before he found a way to take the many lessons learned from others and make them his own. John Legend, Stevie Wonder, and John Mayer influence and inspire his writing and his music. It’s AJ’s deep connection to the rebel-like mentality, similar to that of Kirk Franklin and Kanye West, that set him apart. With his blend of R&B and Gospel, combined with his study of modern-day music, AJ is able to deliver a message when needed. A singer/songwriter who has had his fair share of obstacles, Aj allows the music to tell his story. Whether he’s wooing you with his sweet melodies or captivating the moment through his storytelling, you don’t wanna miss a performance. “As an artist, I look to tell a story, often times providing you with a sketched out canvas to fill in with your own experiences. At the start of my career, I lost my mother to Lupus which changed the entire trajectory of my music. I had to redevelop the love for it. I begin to see my self being defined by that moment that ultimately clouded judgement & lowered my self esteem to create. I’ve since accepted what I couldn’t change & began to live with the sole purpose of telling stories that not only resonant with me but those listening. “ — AJ Farley
