Last year, I noticed his talent when I saw his video on YouTube singing Lucky with Cathy Nguyen in the bathroom.

Then, just a while ago, I saw this video of him singing on stage with people cheering for him.

Searched for more of his videos, and found this song, I Just Want You (one of his original compositions). He’s playing a ukelele here.

Then here is a video of Filipino Ivatans from Batanes doing a cover of his song, I Just Want You. This means AJ Rafael’s music is reaching the Philippines.

As of this writing, AJ Rafael is on the #85 Most Subscribed Musician on YouTube.
