Ajaxx

Hailing from Watts, California, engineer and artist Ajaxx has spent years mastering his talents within the city and the music industry. His passion for music was sparked at home, thanks to his father’s musical background writing for legends and filling their home with timeless sounds. With music deeply ingrained in his roots, it was only natural for Ajaxx to step into the artist’s role himself.

Determined to bring his vision to life, Ajaxx first found himself behind the mixer board, recording his own music at home and engineering sessions on the go with his mobile setup. A friend recognized his talent and encouraged him to take his skills seriously, leading Ajaxx to enroll at the Los Angeles Recording School. In 2012, he graduated with a degree in Recording Arts, ready to begin his path in the industry.

Fresh out of school, Ajaxx landed a few internships with powerhouse production duo Midi Mafia , & Atlantic Records, before moving on to work at Rostrum Records, Roc Nation, and more. While engineering allowed him to contribute to the creative process, his ultimate goal remained the same—becoming an artist.

Ajaxx has taken the time to hone in on his artistry. Inspired by legends like The Temptations, Donell Jones, and West Coast staple Dom Kennedy, Ajaxx describes his sound as effortless and vibey. “I’m not trying to be that ‘woke’ artist,” he says. “My music is more like cruising music—it’s really a vibe.”
