AJ is from Leonardville, Kansas, and comes from a multiethnic background of Senegalese and Swedish heritage. He grew up in a humble, kind, and welcoming home, which are values he still carries into every space he steps into. He’s passionate about traveling, music, and being out in nature, and he has a creative side that shows up in everything he does. AJ is also an amateur DJ, always experimenting with new sounds. Photography brings him joy too, giving him a way to capture the world as he sees it. His favorite way to express himself is through art in any form whether creating it, sharing it, and watching it connect with people. If AJ had a theme song, it would be Alter Ego by Tame Impala
