From heartbreak medleys to underrated Disney songs, AJ Rafael’s got you covered!

Whether it’d be from his viral TikToks, or his impressive decades-long works on YouTube, or just by his iconic song We Could Happen, AJ Rafael stands out for his musical genius. To date, he’s appeared on Billboard’s “Uncharted” chart, hosted his own variety show Crazy Talented Asians and even been awarded as a Filipino-American Game Changer by the City of Los Angeles!

For the past 5 years, the singer-songwriter has taken it upon himself to give his fans something to look forward to at the start of every year: #JAMuary. Through this annual series, AJ gathers fan requests and creates interactive performances where he involves his fans. At times, he follows a certain theme and bases songs off of them. He even invites fellow YouTubers and other musician friends to join along! 

Check out our top 5 picks from AJ’s #JAMuary series:

Without You (Original) ft. Moira Dela Torre

A Million Medley

To commemorate hitting a million subscribers on YouTube, AJ went live on Twitch to arrange a medley with his live audience, consisting of songs with the word “million” in them. Watch and listen to his renditions of “A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman to S Club 7’s “Two in a Million”!

Tagpuan (Cover) ft. Cathy Nguyen
