AJ is breaking down walls and inspiring us all to look at music and life a little differently. AJ’s uniquely inspired Singing Guitar has its roots in the Sacred Steel musical style and African-American gospel traditions that developed out of a group of Pentecostal churches across the South. AJ’s great Uncle Willie Eason was the founder of the “Sacred Steel” rhythmic guitar style, his grandfather (Henry Nelson) played the sacred steel guitar and so did his father ( Aubrey Ghent Sr.) – Johns Creek Lifestyle Magazine June 2021 Aubrey Ghent Jr., professionally known as A.J. Ghent [ j-ent ], also known and billed as AJ Ghent [ j-ent ] & His Singing Guitar, is a 3rd generation singer, songwriter, producer, and slide guitar, lap, and pedal steel guitar player.

AJ creates healing sounds that take listeners on a nostalgic melodic safari, painted with iridescent rhythmic patterns, led by the soulful melodies of his Singing Guitar, which is often compared to the voices and stylings of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Prince. With constant viral TikTok videos garnering millions of views, AJ is fulfilling his goal of reaching the world with the healing sounds of his Singing Guitar. AJ is working tirelessly to preserve his family heirloom, the “Sacred Steel” sound which dates to the 1930s. Starting at the age of 12 years old, the self-taught Ghent has poured countless hours into perfecting his craft, listening to old tapes of his grandfather Henry Nelson, and his father, Aubrey Ghent Sr.
