AJ LeRoy

AJ LeRoy is a UK based singer, musician, songwriter and performer. Throughout his early years he was surrounded from an eclectic mix of 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 following that studied 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.
