“Born and raised in Metro Detroit, AJ Sol is an accomplished R&B-pop artist who has been singing since she could talk. With music deeply rooted in her family, she began writing catchy, emotionally charged songs and developed a love for playing guitar and performing live. AJ Sol wears her heart on her sleeve and says it like it is, bringing depth, realness, and soul to everything she creates. Her music is anything but superficial—it’s where honesty lives.”

Djangophonique is a musical project born out of reverence for the Parisian Jazz Manouche style that was made popular by the legendary Sinti guitarist Django Reinhardt and his Quintette du Hot Club de France. While remaining steeped in the rich and virtuosic tradition, the group brings this music into the present with stunning improv, spontaneity and musical interaction. Hot swing, lush ballads, musette waltzes, jazz standards, boleros, and moody minor pieces are all fused together with theatrical flair and musical humor.
