Mini bio
How it started.
AJ began performing in church plays as a child and learned piano and guitar. She and her older sister Aly formed Aly & AJ in 2004, then introduced their harmonies to a wider audience with Into the Rush in 2005.
Finding their own sound.
Potential Breakup Song became a defining early hit in 2007. After a period performing as 78violet, the sisters returned as Aly & AJ with the Ten Years EP in 2017. Their independent work has moved through synth-pop, guitar pop and the California rock and folk textures of Silver Deliverer.
On screen and behind the microphone.
AJ played Lainey Lewis in The Goldbergs and its spinoff Schooled. Animation fans know her as Catra in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and Stevonnie in Steven Universe. Her film work includes the starring role in Grace Unplugged and acting and producing alongside Aly on Weepah Way for Now.
