AJ LeRoy

Throughout AJ LeRoy's early years he was surrounded from an eclectic mix of musical artists; his weekends would be spent listening to the sounds of jazz and soul greats through his grandparents record player; while his mother’s musical taste introduced him to art-rock singers and folk-crossover artists. Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Minnie Riperton, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and Lianne La Havas are among the artists who have influenced his musical style. At the age of 16 AJ studied Performing Arts at Elliott-Clarke Theatre School and later went on to study further at London’s Institute of Contemporary Music Performance where he honed his skills in music performance, arranging and songwriting. Since then he has performed as a soloist in various venues across the UK including The Echo Arena, The Barbican Centre and the Sheffield Crucible, along with both national and international touring productions and residencies. AJ’s original music uses abstract poeticism to explore themes of introspection, relationships and connectivity and he loves to bring this sense of authenticity to all of his musical performances. With such a vast variety of music in his repertoire AJ is suitable for any type of event and his experience allows him to tailor his performance style to meet any visage a client may have. However, more than anything, AJ loves to create an immersive experience for guests. Whether that be through the delicate delivery and storytelling of an acoustic jazz/folk set; or through intense soul, pop and rock material to showcase his powerful vocals and get your guests on their feet dancing.
