Biography

Singapore’s native “ahmadjohnson69”, AJ for short, started rapping at the age of 16 when he first posted freestyles on Instagram. The young artist’s first freestyle gained over 50,000 views within the first 24 hours on his page after his comedic lyrics and distinctive flows moulded the attention of many across the region. A few months from then, the Jurong-breed rising star started performing alongside other artists, opening for top regional acts like MK K-clique, Kidd Santhe, and Tuju. From there, gig-goers realised that AJ is not just a young boy with interesting brave lyrics, but also a cunning performer. On the precipice of stardom, he executes his artistry through producing his own music with debut album released independently on digital platforms, “John Star”, which managed to gain recognition through editorial playlists like Border Beats and Pop Terkini. Evidently defeating odds with his latest seamless album “Kejut Aku Ok Aku Dah Bangun”, the Universal Music Group distributed artist managed to turn his Instagram viewers from his viral videos into a cult following with his nonchalant music videos and heated singles.
