CS4U: What is the inspiration behind your song, “Unbelievable”?
AJ Lehrman: “I believe that if we can look past all the people in the world that will tell us no, for absolutely no particular reason, then we can be unstoppable. I truly feel that we only need one yes to succeed and be happy, and that one yes can be ourselves.”
CS4U: How would you describe your sound to potential new fans?
AJ Lehrman: “I think my sound is a blend of all my inspirations: Stevie Wonder, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake. All these different “sounds” and styles mushed together really influenced my take on music.”
CS4U: What can fans expect from a concert of yours?
AJ Lehrman: “Fans can expect to be dancing and singing a lot. Non stop moving, and jumping up and down. I suggest to wear sneakers and a tank top because all that moving is gonna feel like a workout! Lol…but seriously I try to make my performances as interactive as I can, and I honestly really love meeting all of you, and watching you sing along.”
CS4U: What can you tell us about your involvement with DoSomething.org?
AJ Lehrman: “I recently teamed up with DoSomething.org on a campaign to raise awareness about bullying. As we toured school to school along the west coast, many kids shared their experiences about bullying, and we altogether just tried to realize that there is no reason to bully anyone. We started an anti-bullying campaign using #NoBull, along with a phone number people could reach out to for advice and help, in order to make people feel that there really is nothing better than loving who you are and being comfortable with yourself.”
CS4U: Since our website is called CS4U, do you have any secrets or hidden talents your fans might not know about?
AJ Lehrman: “I happen to be a professional french fry stealer….”
