About AJ
Born Arnet Jerome Diggs on June 5th 1956 to Eula Mae Johnson & William Kessler Diggs in Philadelphia, Pa., I learned music at an early age. In this family of 10, all of my brothers and sisters either sang or played an instrument. Inheriting love for gospel, jazz, R&B and entertaining from mom and dad, I started a musical journey that hasn’t waned even though it’s taken all of the changes in direction that musicians take.
I took violin lessons in the 3rd grade only to find that the cello squeaked a lot less. I played cello all through my school years, became a music magnet student and was good enough for “All City Orchestra” in high school. Also during that period, I had practiced long and hard enough to learn bass, guitar, drums, piano, theory, composition and acoustics.
Over the years since school, my influences had grown from Mozart through Motown through Miles eras to the more prevalent sounds of the electronic generation and virtuosity. I began to listen to Hendrix, Billy Preston, James Taylor, Chicago, Earth, Wind & Fire, Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, Quincy Jones, Larry Graham, Stanley Clarke and you get the picture.
I was fortunate to survive a military period, marriage and becoming a single parent to a mildly disabled son. I’ve performed with many national and international artists,((expired link). The Blue Notes, The Dreamlovers, and Bill Pinkney and The Original Drifters) and when called upon, play for icons like Grammy Winner, William Bell, the Queen of the Blues, the legendary Barbara Carr and Blues Icon, Producer and International artist, Roy Roberts. ( (expired link) )
My current cd, “Already In Progress” is still making moderate progress in the beach and blues circuits and is available at CDBaby, itunes, amazon, soundclick, myspace, YouTube and of course from me. Need more?......Google me!
You can expect a new cd from me soon and Universe willing, I’ll see you @ the show.
PEACE, PROSPERITY & ONENESS…AJ
