AJ Edwards

Hometown: Boston, MA

For singer/songwriter/guitarist AJ Edwards, music has always offered a certain ‘pull…’

“I think I’ve had this subconscious desire to play music for awhile,” comments AJ, “but it all really began to surface when I first saw U2 perform in Boston in 2001. I began teaching myself guitar a couple days after.”

The Boston born/based artist soon began to realize his passion for songwriting and spent many late nights building a balanced set of original songs and covers.

“For awhile I really just wanted to get out there and play, but at the same time I felt that I needed something original to work into my act first,” says AJ.

Eventually, AJ grabbed his acoustic guitar and booked a few dates at local bars and college campuses, which resulted from his earliest steps on stage at numerous open-mics. Since then, he has collaborated with some highly respected artists in the local music scene including legendary studio drummer, John Dorizzi, and engineers, Dave Lefkowitz (Johnny A) and Jay Frigoletto (Alice In Chains, Oasis, Ani DiFranco) on his self-produced, debut full-band album, “Start Over the Moon.” The record was released October 2009.

AJ has since returned to the studio to work on an EP, which he anticipates will be finished this summer.
