“I was like, ‘Oh, I just want to write songs. I don’t know if I can [sing],’” AJ Mitchell says when speaking EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife. The Belleville, Illinois native said he always envisioned a life behind the piano and not in the spotlight, but with encouragement from his family, his team, and his supporters, he took that big step. Since then, his career has skyrocketed to the point that the sky’s the limit. With his highly successful Slow Dance EP, and a handful of songs that have won the hearts of fans everywhere, AJ Mitchell stands ready to ‘take over’ the next decade. A pop superstar in the making, AJ’s powerful voice and poignant songwriting is already catching a buzz by those who recognize talent when they see it. With his debut album, Skyview, set for 2020, the singer reflected on his journey took him to this precipice, and how he’s ready to share “where [he’s] from” with all his followers as he takes the next step towards where he’s going next.
