BIO
Musician . Actor . Teacher .
AJ is a Philly girl who loves to perform, write and teach.
​
Trained in piano/voice at The University of the Arts (BM, MM Jazz Studies) and in acting at Stella Adler Studio, AJ approaches all of her projects with the intensity of a jazz musician and the heart of an actor. She brings the beauty of both worlds to her work as a pianist, vocalist, songwriter, worship leader, actor, and professor.
​
AJ's solo singer-songwriter album The Table was released in 2022, and she recently released the Robby Webb remix of her song I Found Grace. AJ's most recent release is the City Life Worship live album YES GOD, which she wrote for, performed on and co-produced.
In addition to writing and recording music, AJ serves as a pastor of worship and production at City Life Philly, and was a jazz professor at University of the Arts for twelve years.
As a worship leader and songwriter, as well as accompanist at Philly's historic synagogue Congregation Rodeph Shalom, AJ's biggest passion is witnessing the power of congregational singing, especially through original music.
​
AJ provides private vocal coaching, piano lessons, and songwriting training for professional students or those who are serious about their studies - contact if interested in private instruction or group workshops.
