AJ Rafael states,

As you all know, I’m a songwriter! And I love writing songs! I understand the demand of covers and singing the popular songs, but through my last 14 years of making music… I’ve found that the music I’ve written has fulfilled me the most and I hope it’s impact is just as powerful.

I’m happy to be showcasing Michael Barnum’s song, Universe. Hope this song inspires you the way it first inspired me when I heard it!

A big thank you to Michael Barnum for letting us jam on your original song with you. We’ve met a few times before this day, but I’m glad I’m able to now call you a friend! Wishing you the best on this crazy musical journey we’ve both decided to take.

AJ Rafael covers “Straight Up & Down” by Bruno Mars with his good friends Albert Posis and Mark Mejia.

AJ Rafael is singing a High School Musical song “Breaking Free” with Lorelei Sinco. He reveals,

So I met Lorelei 10 years ago at an audition for a theatrical production of High School Musical at RCC, sang with her at callbacks, and never saw her again. UNTIL a random day where I went to the Star Wars Last Jedi marathon at the El Capitan Theatre in LA where I ran into her! And I was like, “let’s sing together sometime again!!” So here we are!!! Haha.

AJ Rafael reveals “A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman featuring Jun Curry Ahn. He says, “Jun came over one day before a gig he had at UC Riverside and we just decided right then and there that we were going to do this live cover after talking about how we both loved The Greatest Showman so much.”

If you remember AJ Rafael’s album “Red Roses” when you’ll clearly remember “She Was Mine” which was a duet with Jesse Barrera. Now, the two are back to singing the 2018 version and it still sounds amazing.

AJ Rafael says this is, “a #Jamuary rendition of a song we wrote back in 2008… “She Was Mine”. we have a couple versions of this song but it never gets old to us. we rarely get to sing it together so here it is for y’all!”
