AJ Rafael is an amazing, talented artist. Rafael first caught my attention through YouTube cover videos, and I have caught interest in him ever since. When he performs, his passion for music shines through his voice. Rafael had the opportunity to be the West's finalist for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards - Battle of the Bands. Today marks a milestone in his life and his career. Rafael, along with his band, has released his first full length album,
Red Roses.
Rafael does not have a record label, and has been attracting fans through social media outlets. Rafael was able to get distribution at Target,
Best Buy, iTunes, and Amazon. Be sure to check out his album and support his years of talented, hard work. Here is a peak at one of the songs off the album, "We Could Happen".
