A.J. Shanti
recently kicked her musical career into high gear, having just
completed her first European tour, and is continuing to plan her tour
of the United States, set to begin this spring. She’s promoting her
debut album “Baby Beau Blue”, a lyrically and instrumentally packed
album containing themes of queer struggle and liberation, heartache,
love, fun, and sex. Her live performances are raw and emotionally
charged. She has been performing as a solo artist, but will begin to
include the talents of a Croatian musician, Dora Benc, creating a rich
and harmonious depth to her performances.
A.J. grew up on Long Island, New York and spend a good part of her
adult life in San Francisco where she finished college and embarked
upon several professional endeavors (queer youth counselor, truck
driver, etc.) until last year, when she decided to dive head first into
her music. She has been enjoying all of the excitement, exhaustion, and
liberation that proceeds the pursuit of one’s dreams.
