AJ RAFAEL [ Live in Manila ]
RED ROSES asia tour 2012

“I only hope to inspire more people to have music in their lives: that's

all it's about. Popularity, money, attention, I mean all of that's nice (not that I

get much of it), but that's all temporary... music is FOREVER.” – AJ Rafael

AJ Rafael, age 22, from Southern California has been passionate about

music through the influence of many family members, especially his father.

Today, AJ looks back at all musical accomplishments starting off in 2004

through private shows, benefit concerts, traveling internationally and being a

founder of his own church choir group. With hundreds of thousands of fans

and subscribers on Twitter and YouTube, AJ hopes and strives for music

to last forever. Currently, AJ performs with the “AJ Rafael Band”, his band,

consisting of Noah Bartfield on the bass guitar, Andrew Rhim on the guitar,

Danny Morledge on the drums and himself on the keys. The band brings forth

a new sound that AJ Rafael is proud to express to the audience heard today

in his latest album titled, “Red Roses”. With this, AJ Rafael is doing his debut

Asia Tour, bringing with him the AJ Band, to meet his Asia fans with his live

performance.

Red Roses has received great response from AJ Rafael fans from worldwide.
