Aj SilvaWhen I was first directed to AJ Silva’s YouTube Channel over a year ago, he was only sporting seven cover songs and a several hundred subscribers. Today, this sensational, soon to be teen, has over two dozen video covers, nearly 5,000 subscribers and over a Half a Million page views!

The Success of Aj Silva can be contributed to many factors, with the largest one being that this boy is just flat out amazing!  His ability to stay in perfect pitch, showcasing his vocal range effortlessly on every song, perfect timing and breath control, in addition to his creative artistic vocal flavor makes Aj Silva the young artist to watch in the months to come!

I have been extremely honored to be a part of his promotional team effort over his past year! While he has held a high profile on this site in the side bars and in the header banner, prior to this update he has only had one full feature article.

While maybe not a polished performer yet, Jared’s vocal was pure, clean, and pitch perfect in fact almost angelic like! This alone was a show stopping performance for me.

This debut video prompted me to leave a complementary comment on his instructors YouTube Site.  I had kind of forgotten about leaving the comment, but then a few weeks later I received a very nice letter inviting me to get in touch with them to learn more about Jared and his amazing natural singing talent.
