We had the pleasure of interviewing AJ Mitchell over Zoom video!
You\u2019ll find Belleville, IL about six hours south of Chicago. It often resembles a ghost town with its many hollowed-out and abandoned factories, marathon winters, and endless cornfields. From the outside, it might not seem like the perfect launchpad for a future pop star, but\xa0AJ\xa0Mitchell\xa0proudly calls this place home. Long before notching 1 billion-plus streams, selling out shows, and performing on television, the singer and songwriter grew up in this small and unassuming Midwest town.
Now, he doesn\u2019t forget where he came from on his full-length debut album, Skyview [Epic Records]\u2014named for Belleville\u2019s lone drive-in theater.
Since emerging in 2018,\xa0AJ\xa0Mitchell\xa0has consistently asserted himself as pop\u2019s most dynamic new leading man. Averaging over 6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, he impressively leaped past the 1-billion stream mark within three years. In addition to being named a Vevo LIFT artist and MTV Push artist, Variety championed him on its \u201cYoung Hollywood\u201d 2020 list. Beyond acclaim from Billboard, Idolator, Highsnobiety, and Seventeen, he delivered show-stopping performances at the MTV VMAs and on The Today Show and Good Day New York. In 2019, his Slow Dance EP yielded the gold-selling title track \u201cSlow Dance\u201d [feat. Ava Max]. Including the latter, he has logged four songs on the Top 40 at Pop Radio thus far. Between collaborating with everyone from Steve Aoki to Rich The Kid, he assembled his full-length debut Skyview throughout 2020 with the legendary Mike Dean as Executive Producer. He takes flight on the first single \u201cOne More Fight.\u201d
